People Picker in Project Detail Pages - Not Working for Already Created Projects
Bhatia --
This is very odd behavior. Are you SURE you are checking out the project in PWA before you attempt to edit the Expert field? If this field is available in Microsoft Project, you should be able to edit it there by checking out the enterprise project, clicking Project > Project Information, and then editing the field in the Project Information dialog. Just a couple of thoughts. Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot, Dale, for responding to my question.
I agree, it indeed is very odd behavior.
To clarify my position, I am attaching relevant screen grabs.
The first part displays when I am creating a new project, the People Picker (PP) works fine; when I partially enter my name, it suggests my name. I save the project. The system is correctly using Create Project screen.
In the second part, when I edit that saved record, both PP fields do not display any suggestions: if I modify already filled SME field or use unused BA field, I don’t see any suggestions. Whatever I enter, is not validated against Active Directory in the Project Details screen.
Thanks

Hi Dale. Thanks a lot for responding to my message.
Yes, it indeed is an odd behavior. In my project both BA and SME fields are properly set up and I am editing the saved project in PWA. I am providing screen shots of two tasks (a) creating a project where People Picker is active and I can choose my name. The system uses Create Project screen. (b) When I edit the same project, now the People Picker does not get initiated in the Project Details screen. Here I tried entering my name in BA field and I was not provided any choices..
