What columns are mapped when importing .MPP file into Project for the web?
Hello PewPewProject ,
You've probably seen this list I guess: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/move-your-project-from-project-desktop-to-project-for-the-web-143ab391-002e-451a-aedb-3b6fa1f6ab8b#bkmk_featuresthatdontmigrate
There are no custom fields in MS Project that can be imported / mapped to buckets / labels etc. as MS Project is not aware of buckets / labels and the import mapping is hard coded by Microsoft. Up to 10 custom fields from the mpp file will be be imported (if you have more than 10, you get a window to select which 10).
If you want to code something yourself for the import, there is the schedule API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/project-operations/project-management/schedule-api-preview
I hope that helps

Thanks Paul_Mather , that was my gut feeling but thought it best to check anyway!
"Up to 10 custom fields from the mpp file will be imported (if you have more than 10, you get a window to select which 10)."
I was not aware of custom fields being able to map over, I assume this is limited to custom fields like text, true/false etc? would you happen to know if the fields need to be enterprise fields or not?
thank you again so much!
Hello PewPewProject ,
I think you'll find it is only local custom fields not enterprise custom fields but I've not tried it for a while.
