    Hello Vasily_Zaytsev ,

    Unfortunately I don't have access to Project Server on-premises anymore, I only use Project Online so I'm not able to test this.

Hello Vasily_Zaytsev ,

If you have the Project Desktop client open and connected to the PWA instance then make changes to the PWA instance such as resource changes, enterprise custom field config changes, the Project Desktop client will pick up these changes if you close and relaunch Project Desktop and connect back to the PWA instance. There should not be any need to delete / recreate connections, just close Project, relaunch and connect.

        Hello. The problem was with CSOM API. After resource custom updates via CSOM API, client doesn't recieve any updates. Updates via native Project Professional 2016 works well.
