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
