First of all thanks for you answer
I use Project desktop version 2301 build 16026.20200
Below you can see a printscreen
A littrle bit of explanations here
"Début" means "start",
"Fin" means "End"
"Copie ? début" is a date-type custom fiels with a formula [Copie ? début] = [début]
"Copie ? fin is a date-type custom fiels with a formula [Copie ? fin] = [fin]
I also tried with start-type custom field but it still didn't work
As you can see, fo my summary task Marché GOF
the value of "Copie ? début " should be 27-02-23, and i get "03-02-20"
the value of "Copie ? début " should be 06-07-23, and i get "NC"
