Create "Owner" like Enterprise Custom Field

Hi all, I would like to create "Departmental Manager" custom enterprise field on Project Details page that will allow the user to select a name from the active directory, just like the "Owner" field...

    Hello nooruls143 ,

    Out of the box Project Web App doesn't support custom field people picker fields but if you create a normal text custom field then apply custom JavaScript code to the page you can turn a text field into a people picker field. There used to be some JavaScript solutions floating around on the internet, if you search for "Project Online People picker field JavaScript" I'm sure you will find a solution start that will help get you started if you wanted to go down the custom code route.
