Hi everyone,
We're using Project Server 2010 (Dec. 2011 CU) to manage projects of different departments, therefore we're also taking advantage of the department functionality of the product. I've just come across something in that regard that is either a bug or a misunderstanding of the functionality on my part. I'm hoping someone will be able to comment and shed some light on that.
TheDepartment lookup table contains 3 entries, Department 1 - 3. I now have created a custom fieldBackground (project, multiple lines of text) that is assigned to Department 1. I have inserted this custom field into a new blank PDP called Project Overview using the Project Fields webpart. Finally, I have created a new EPT (no workflows) that uses my PDP.Nothing out of the ordinary up to this point...
My account is an Administrator on the system and is assigned to Department 1. When clicking theNew button in Project Center, my EPT shows up as expected. I create a new project and fill in the name on theProject Information PDP which I use asNew Project Page PDP. Now, when switching to my PDP, I can see the Project Fields webpart, butno fields are displayed (see 2nd screenshot below). Occassionally when switching between PDP's I can see the screen flickering for a milli-second and displaying the fields only to see them disappear again... :(
The same thing is happening for my other PDP's and custom fields that also have a department assigned. Note that after I remove the department from a field (actually had to delete and recreate it) and insert it again into the PDP, the field is displayed without any problems.
Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing? Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
Cheers
