The published assignment field is not updated as expected if it is updated in Microsoft Project Web Access (820553)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Project Professional 2002

SYMPTOMS

When you update your Microsoft Project task in Microsoft Project Web Access, the value that you type for a published assignment field is incorrectly applied to the task when you update your changes to the Microsoft Project plan.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the value that you updated in the published assignment field in the Microsoft Project task is updated at the Task level and not at the Assignment level if you update it in Microsoft Project Web Access, and then send the updated Microsoft Project task back to the Microsoft Project plan.
