- Microsoft Office Project Web Access
SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You log on to a computer that is running Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 by using Microsoft Office Project Web Access. Under Enterprise Custom Field Definition in Server Settings, you create a new field. On the New Custom Field page, you set the Calculation for Summary Rows setting from Use Formula to Rollup and Maximum. However, when you return to the Custom Fields page and edit the new field, the Calculation for Summary Rows setting is no longer set to Rollup and Maximum. Instead, this setting reverts to Use Formula.
CAUSE
This issue occurs because there is a problem in the user interface of Project Web Access. In Project Web Access, the Calculation for Summary Rows setting reverts to Use Formula. However, in Office Project Professional 2007, the Calculation for Summary Rows is set correctly to Rollup and Maximum.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the Calculation for Summary Rows setting on the Edit Custom Field page in Project Web Access, and then click Save.
Note Every time that you edit the custom field, you must reset the Calculation for Summary Rows setting on the Edit Custom Field page. If you do not reset the Calculation for Summary Rows setting, the setting reverts to Use Formula.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- On the New Custom Field page, next to Entity and Type, set the Entity value to Task, and then set the Type value to Number.
- Next to Custom Attributes, click Formula.
- Under Formula =, enter a formula, such as [duration].
- Next to Calculation for Summary Rows, click Rollup and Maximum, and then click Save.
When you return to the Custom Fields page and you edit the new field, the Calculation for Summary Rows is set to Use Formula and not Rollup.
