    The macros in the Wiki article are structured to transfer assignment data to task data or vice versa. It sounds like like what you want to do is to transfer resource data to task data. That is easy enough as long as there is only one assigned resource per task but it presents a dilemma if more than one resource is assigned to a given task, as is often the case.

    However, if you do have a single resource assigned to each task, then this code should give you what you want.
    Sub ResToTsk()
    Dim t As Task
    For Each t In ActiveProject.Tasks
      If Not t Is Nothing Then
        If t.Assignments.Count > 0 Then
          t.Text1 = ActiveProject.Resources(t.Assignments(1).ResourceID).Text1
          t.Text2 = ActiveProject.Resources(t.Assignments(1).ResourceID).Text2
        End If
      End If
    Next t
    End Sub

    If you have more than one resource assigned per task, then you need to determine which resource's custom field is transferred to the task custom field.
