How do I customize field names?
in [Project]

From: Dytham on 7 May 2008 08:28 Interesting that this is another instance of reduced functionality under Project 2007. In my 2003 plan I had a view which used columns Finish and Finish10. These had been renamed (using Customize Fields) to Current Finish and Last week Finish respectively. Now that the plan file is used with Project 2007, the view still shows the modified headers but the ability to make any other changes to (non-custom field) Finish is no longer offered. Interestingly, if another instance of Finish is added to the view, it only has standard header title, so the view has two identical columns but with different titles (Finish and Current Finish). Can anyone explain any logic around this design change ?

From: JulieS on 7 May 2008 08:47 Dytham, Project 2003 did not have the ability to rename fields other than custom fields. You could (and still can in Project 2007) change the Title that appears in the column headings but you cannot rename a "standard" field through Tools > Customize > Fields. To apply a new title to the field, double click on the column heading and apply a title. Not an issue of reduced functionality -- it's the same as it has been for a very long time. I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

From: Dytham on 7 May 2008 08:56 Ah, of course, the old Column Definition. Thanks for reminding me.
