Project 2013 Cumulative Update (RTM to the end of 2015)

[Brian-Smith]

This page lists all of the released Cumulative Updates (CU) and Service Packs (SP) for Microsoft Project  2013, both Standard and Professional, from RTM to the end of 2015.  From February 2015 onwards all fixes are shipped in Public Updates (PU).  From March 2015 client updates available via Windows Update and Download Center, server updates only via Download Center. From April 2016 the Office client updates are shipped 1st Tuesday. The October 2016 client updates were released on the 2nd Tuesday. From April 2015 onwards all fixes require SP1 as a prerequisite. They are listed in reverse date order - newest at the top.  Each of these packages is cumulative, including all the previous fixes back to the last baseline (either the initial release or a Service Pack).   I have also recorded the version you will see in the File, Account, About Microsoft Project link Project 2013.  If you are running a click to run installation - such as Project for Office 365 see http://support2.microsoft.com/gp/office-2013-365-update for details of the update schedules - but the version numbers and fixes should be roughly in line with the CU releases below.

• Assume that you have an MPP file that is created by using the Project server Save for Sharing feature, and you are now saving it back to the server. In this case, the status manager property on each task and the project owner may change unexpectedly to be the person who is saving the file to the server.
• In some cases, when you save a project to Project Server, you receive a 9000 error code.
• When you import timephased data by using XML files in Project 2013, the <WorkContour> tags are ignored. This issue occurs when the timephased actual work values exist but the remaining work timephased values are not complete in the XML file.
• When you try to unlink a subproject from a master project that has a custom field with a lookup table defined, Project 2013 crashes. This issue occurs if the subproject doesn't have the same lookup table definition as in the master project but the custom field has values.
• When you open an XML file in Project 2013, only the last row of the resource availability lines is displayed.
• When you try to open a large project in Project 2013, you receive the following error message:
  This operation cannot be completed because the source file contains invalid project data or the total number of rows would exceed the limit of 1,048,000 rows in a project. Validate the data in the source file, insert fewer rows, delete some rows, or consider dividing your project into subprojects to provide more space for tasks and resources.
  This issue occurs if the assignment maximum unique ID of 1048576 is exceeded.
• When you use the UpdateResources Project Server Interface (PSI) method to change a resource, security groups that are assigned to the resource and the claims account information about the resource may be lost.
• It takes a long time to open an XML file and create a new project in Project 2013.
• When you view the physical "% complete" field on an inserted project summary task in a master project, the value doesn't always reflect the same value on the project summary task in the sub project. In addition, if you open the master project and the sub project isn't in memory, the physical "% value" is displayed as "0%."

• After you apply status updates to project schedules, the actual work contours on some assignments unexpectedly display zero actual work values in various time periods.
• Assume that you display the Hyperlink field in Project Professional. On a task, you enter an address in the Hyperlink field to a document that's stored on a SharePoint site, and then you click the link. Sometimes in this situation, the document doesn't open, and you're redirected to the root site where the document is stored.
• Assume that you have a summary task that contains one or more subtasks. Then, you make the summary task become a non-summary task (either by outdenting all subtasks or by deleting all subtasks). In this scenario,the internal property on the task that specifies the duration format (minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months) may not get set correctly. Therefore, when you publish the project, the reporting data is inaccurate, and the duration of the given task isn't correct.
• When you use an auto filter on a text type field (such as the task name) and the values in the field are many and varied, Project 2013 may crash.
• In some cases, a task's % Complete displays 99% even though the % Work Complete on all the assignments on the task shows 100%.
• Saving to a SharePoint task list from Project Professional 2013 may fail when there's both an enterprise resource and a user account on the Project server that share the same name.
• When you save a project back to a server, you receive the following error message:
  Project Web App was unable to find the specified resource.
• After you import and merge data from an external source (for example, from an Excel workbook), only the first assignment on the task is updated.

Additionally, this security update also includes the fixes for the issues that are described in this following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

• 3101502 November 10, 2015, update for Project Server 2013

October 2015

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3085590 15.0.4763.1000

• After status updates are accepted and applied to tasks in a project, the total actual work on the assignments may become larger, and the new actual work appears in time periods where the user didn't report it. For example, you report 8h on Monday and 3h on Tuesday. When you view the assignment in the project after the update is applied, besides the 8h on Monday and 3h on Tuesday, you may also see 8h on Thursday and Friday.
• After you level resources by using the week-by-week or month-by-month basis in Project 2013, the resources remain overallocated.
• When you force check in a project on a Project 2013 server, the project is still displayed as checked out in Project Professional. If you try to open and edit it in Project Professional, you receive an error message that states that the file in the local cache is damaged.
• When you open and then save a project file to a Project server, the task finish date and duration are changed. This issue occurs if the assignment finish date doesn't match the task finish date. This can be the case with fixed duration tasks.
• When you use Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros to edit project data within the Project.BeforeSave event handler, the edits to the project may not be saved if the project is saved to Project Server.
• When you start a task before the project start date, certain time scale labels in a Gantt view such as those that work from a project's start (for example, the "W1, W2, W3, W4… (From Start)" label) show the week starting at the beginning of the task instead of at the beginning of the project.
• In some cases, the font control shown on the Tasks tab in the ribbon within the Font group is empty and the font size is 0. When you try to select a font or size, Project 2013 may crash.
• After you use the Replace button on the Assign Resource dialog to switch one resource for another, the new assignment keeps all the custom properties of the old assignment. For example, if the old assignment contains values in custom fields or baselines and other such properties, the new assignment will have these same values.
• When you try to import and merge to an existing project in Project 2013, Project 2013 may crash and the task outline in the project may be damaged. This issue occurs after you have September 8, 2015, update for Project 2013 (KB3085510) installed.
• When you try to import certain XML files in Project 2013, Project 2013 may crash.

• Enables single sign-on (SSO) for ADAL on cloud domain-joined computers. On cloud domain-joined computer that has Modern Authentication enabled, domain accounts seem to be logged in but can't open files.
• When Project 2013 is running in the background, the Auto Save feature that has the Prompt before saving option enabled causes the processor to be fully allocated.
• When you open an .xml file to create a project in Project 2013, it takes longer than merging the data into an existing or blank project.
• When you try to import an Excel workbook into a project in Project 2013, some assignment information is lost.
• When you reduce the work of a fixed work task while editing in Project in the schedule web part, the duration of the task may be reduced unexpectedly.
• When you open an Excel workbook in Project 2013, not all actual works are imported for resources for tasks.
• When you apply actual work to a project in Project 2013, the actual work may be applied to an incorrect resource. This issue may occur when one resource is exchanged for another while you're using the Assign Resources dialog box and a status update is pending.
• When you open a SharePoint task list in Project 2013 and close it without saving, the %Complete fields of tasks are updated to incorrect values.
• When you assign a resource on the Resources tab of the Task Information dialog box to a task in Project 2013, the Units value of the resource is always set to 100% even if another value is entered.
• You can't remove remaining work from a manually scheduled task in Project 2013 when the task is published to Project Server, and when the Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets task settings and display options are enabled.
• After you change a custom field on a project detail page, the milestone flag on a task is reset to Yes unexpectedly.
• When you use a task template that has cost resources assigned to create a project in Project Web App and then you open the project in Project 2013, Project 2013 crashes.
• When you try to update budget costs on resources in Project 2013, Project 2013 may crash.
• When you try to save a project to Project Server or you try to view the project properties of the project, Project 2013 may crash if some project level custom fields type is number.
• When Project Professional 2013 attempts to save a project to a Project server right after the first failure, Project 2013 may crash.
• When you try to save a project from an earlier version of Project Server, you receive the following error message:
  Error 9000 Save job cancelled in the queue: Root element is missing.

• When you create a visual report that is based on task usage data in Project 2013 and set the level of usage data option to weeks, you may receive the following error message:
  Unknown error has occurred. An error occurred and the requested action could not be completed at this time.
  You may also receive the previous error message when you try to save cube data. Then, if you click OK, you receive the following error message:
  This is not a valid file name. File names must be less than 255 characters and they cannot contain any of the following characters: \ " / ; ? < > |
• If a subproject in a master project has a baseline date that is earlier than its start date while the master project does not have a baseline set for the task that represents the subproject, you may be unable to create a visual report for the master project in Project 2013. Instead, you receive the following error message:
  An unknown error has occurred. An error occurred and the requested action could not be completed at this time.
• When you use Project 2013 to open a project that is saved in Project Web App, the start date and the end date of a task is reset to the constraint date instead of the dates that are scheduled according to the associated summary task. This issue occurs if you set the Calculate project after each edit option to Off.
• When you try to synchronize tasks with a SharePoint task list in Project 2013, Project 2013 crashes.
• Consider the following scenario:If you save a project as an .xml file, custom calendar information may not be saved. Therefore, when you open the .xml file, the calendar information is not found.
  • You use Project 2013 to open a project file (.mpp) from a SharePoint document library.
  • You Save the file to a nondefault file format such as .txt, csv, or xlsx.
  • You keep the MPP file open.
  • You make some changes to the project, and then save it.
  In this scenario, the changes that you made to the MPP file are not saved properly.
• When you open an XML project file in Project 2013, a milestone task that is marked as completed may incorrectly be set to 99%.
• When you set a baseline for a project in Project 2013, if a cost resource is assigned to a milestone task, the sum of the timephased cost for that assignment is displayed incorrectly as the assignment remaining cost.

• Assume that a project has a fixed work task, and a resource assignment on the task has a delay. In this situation, an unexpected trailing zero actual work contour may be created on a resource assignment on the task.
• When you roll up baseline values from selected tasks into all summary tasks, the time-phased baseline work and cost values may be incorrect. For example, suppose that over a series of days, the time-phased baseline work values on the summary task are 4h, 2h, 8h, 0h, and 2.5h. After you save the baseline, the values may change to something like 4h, 4.13h, 4.13h, 4.13h, and 4.13h.
• When you scroll through a project in the Gantt Chart view in Project 2013, the Gantt chart might not be displayed correctly until you press F9 to recalculate the schedule.
• When you scroll to different resources in the Assign Resource dialog box in order to select those that you want to assign to a task, an incorrect resource may be assigned as soon as you click the Assign button. Also, dragging and dropping resources from the Assign Resources dialog box to tasks in the project does not work.
• After you change a task's schedule mode from automatic to manual or vice versa, the actual work of the task is changed unexpectedly. For example, you may have actual work that resembles the following:
  5, 2, 2, 1, 0, -, 9, 9, 3, 9
  After you change the task mode, the actual work is changed to the following:
  4.45, 2.33, 2, 1.12, 0.12, -, 8, 9, 3.67, 8.33, 1
• When you apply view grouping on tasks by using a field that has lookup table values, incorrect labels are displayed for the grouping summary rows.
• When you recalculate a Project 2007 based project in Project 2013, milestone tasks may have unexpected schedule and progress changes. For example, the progress is reduced from 100% to 99%.
• When you try to create a visual report on a master project that contains a project summary task, you receive the following error message if the project summary task does not have a matching baseline:
  An error occurred and the requested action could not be completed at this time.
• When you edit a custom flag field for an enterprise resource in Project 2013 Professional, the changes are not saved as expected.
• After you set the Site creation settings value to Do not create a site on the Project Site Provisioning Settings page, the Publish Project dialog box is still displayed when you publish a project.
• Consider the following scenario:.
  • You add a local resource to a project.
  • You save the project to a Project server.
  • You add an enterprise resource to the server that has exactly the same name as the local resource in the project.
  • You open the project, make some changes and then save the project.
  In this situation, the save process fails and the project is not saved.
• When you assign a resource to a task in the Task Information dialog box in Project 2013, the resource assignment unit may be incorrect if the Resource Availability for that resource is changed
• When you synchronize a project to a SharePoint task list and map a custom field, the save operation is slow.

• When you use the Update Project function, it may incorrectly apply progress to inactive tasks. As soon as this occurs, the inactive tasks are no longer activated.
• When Project Professional 2013 opens a Project Server-based project from the local cache, Project Professional 2013 crashes.
• You cannot assign a resource in Project Professional 2013 if the resource name contains a semicolon and if the semicolon is set as the list separator on the client computer.
• When you print a project that contains tasks, resources or assignments that have multiline notes, Project 2013 crashes. This issue occurs if the Print notes option in the Page Setup dialog box is selected.
• When tasks have resource assignments, and the assignments on the task do not share the same start date as the task, resource leveling does not level resources as expected.
• After you set the Week starts on field to a value other than Sunday, calendar nonworking time exceptions are highlighted incorrectly in usage type views.
• When you import resource data from an Excel, TXT, or CSV format file in Project 2013, the resource is not imported successfully. Instead, you see an error that resembles the following:
  The file "<file name>." cannot be opened. * Check that the file name and path are correct. * Check that the file format is recognized by Project.

  Additionally, when you edit a data map, you may see a message that resembles the following if you try to add a field on the Map Optionspage of the Import Wizard:
  The field "<characters listed here>" does not exist.
  In the part of this message that states "characters listed here," garbage characters are displayed instead of a field name.
• When you save a project in Project Professional or Project Web App, custom field values are lost.Note This issue occurs after you apply the March 10, 2015 update for Project Server 2013 (KB2956178).
• When you open a project in Project Professional, you find that local custom fields are copied from the enterprise global template into your project. The enterprise global should not have local custom fields in it, and these fields should not be copied to individual projects. This fix prevents these fields from being incorrectly copied into your project and overwriting local custom fields that you may have already defined.

• When you apply actual work to a project in Project 2013, the actual work may be applied to an incorrect resource. This issue may occur when one resource is exchanged for another while a status update is pending.
• When you edit a cell through the entry bar for a project in Project 2013, the cell is displayed as solid black and you cannot see the cell value.
• When you export an XML file and then import it to a new project in Project 2013, the work and the actual work time-phased values may be incorrect.
• When you publish a project to a project server that contains an updated status manager on a task, the status manager name is not updated in the reporting database on the server.
• When you browse to the Project Center and then click to open a project in Project Professional, the wrong profile may be used and the URL information in the profile is overwritten with the wrong details. This issue occurs most frequently when you have multiple URLs that point to the same physical Project Web App (PWA) instance, and you have different profile in Project Professional for each URL.
• When you try to save enterprise resources where there is an enterprise custom field originally created in Project 2003, the changes are not saved.
• When you open a series of projects that have cross-project dependencies in Project 2013, Project may crash.

Improvements and Fixes

Fixes the following issues:

• When you open a project document from a SharePoint Server 2013 document library, the document is opened in read-only mode, and you cannot change the option to edit the document.
• Some fields such as the % Comp. and the Date fields are not displayed in the Links Between Projects dialog box in Project 2013.
• When you use the week-by-week basis to level resources for a project in Project 2013, Project 2013 may stop responding.
• When you make some changes to a project in a form view such as the Task Form view in Project 2013, the unsaved changes may be lost. This issue occurs if Project 2013 is integrated with Microsoft Lync and your status is changed in Lync.Note To disable the Lync integration, follow the steps in the "Registry Information" section after you apply the update.
• When you merge the data of an .xml file into a project in Project 2013, levelling delays of all tasks are reset unexpectedly. Additionally, the total task work may be increased in some cases.
• You cannot complete a task that has milestone assignments (assignments that contain zero work) and in which the Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets option is enabled in the Task Settings and Display dialog box in Project Web App.
• When you use Project 2013 to publish a project and the Do not create a site option is enabled, Project 2013 continuously requests data from the server about the nonexistent site.

• When you set a baseline for a sub-project in Project 2013, the baseline data may be incorrect.
• When you try to resource level a project in Project 2013, Project may stop responding.
• Consider the following scenario:
  • You set the Decimal symbol to be a comma in Windows Region Settings.
  • You set Show assignments units as a to be a Decimal in Project 2013.
  • You set a non-integer value in the Units column of the Assign Resources dialog box.
  • You check the Units value in the Task Information dialog box.
  In this scenario, the Units value is incorrect. For example, you enter 9,5 but the value changes to 95.

• Assume that you open and edit a project from Project Server in Project Professional 2013, and the Protected Actuals feature is enabled. When you select a task in the project, and then click Move -> Incomplete Part to Status Date, the task schedule does not change as expected.
• Consider the following scenario:When you update a project by using a Project Server Interface (PSI) application, the values in the Leveling Delay fields may be lost.
  • You create an Enterprise project in Project Professional 2013, and then you add a formula to a local custom field.
  • You save and publish the project to Project Server. Then, you open and save the project in Project Web App.
  In this scenario, the formula on the local custom field is removed and replaced by its value.
• Assume that you save a baseline for a project, and then you save the project as a XML Format (*.xml) file. When you open the file and select the As a new project option, then view the timephased baseline work, the values are lost.
• Project 2013 may crash in the following scenarios when Lync 2013 or 2010 is running:Assume that you open a project in Project Professional 2013 on a computer where one of the installed Office 2013 editing languages is Hebrew or Arabic. In this situation, some fields such as resource names, predecessors, and successors may only display part of what it should be. For example, the Resource Names field should display "Resource1" but instead shows "Resour".
  • When you perform actions such as opening projects.
  • When you move the mouse pointer over fields such as resource names.
• Project may crash after you install the October 2014 cumulative update for Project 2013.
• Consider the following scenario:When you apply the Task Path feature to a project that contains many predecessors or successors in Project 2013, Project may stop responding and even crash.
  • You have a project that contains more than two enterprise resources.
  • You open the project in Project Professional 2013.
  • You change the list separator so that the client's and the server's characters are different.
  • You open the Assign Resources dialog box by clicking the Assign Resources button in the Resource tab.
  • You select more than one enterprise resource.
  In this scenario, the Assign button in the Assign Resources dialog box becomes unavailable.
•  
• When you assign more than two resources that all contain long names to a task, the names of the resources are displayed incorrectly.

• When you move assignments around in the Team Planner in Project 2013, Project may stop responding or crash.
• Assume that the Youdao Dictionary application is running. When you copy information or perform actions like resizing columns, task GUIDs are renumbered with the result that task dependencies no longer connect properly.
• Consider the following scenario:
  • On a Project Server, you have at least two user accounts defined by using the following properties:
    • Both have the same name.
    • One is defined that the User can be assigned as a resource check box is selected and the other is not.
  • You start Project 2013 and connect to Project Server.
  • You add an enterprise resource to a project and you save it.
  • You make some changes in the project and try to save the changes.
  In this scenario, the saving operation may fail.

• Assume that you have previously opened a given project from Project Web App (PWA) into Project Professional 2013. Then, you start Project Professional 2013, you click File, and you click Open. When you select the project in the Recent Projects list, Project 2013 may crash.
• When you run a macro that executes the Calendar.Reset method in Project 2013, Project may crash.
• When you open a .mpp file that is created from an earlier version of Project in Project 2013, Project 2013 may stop responding.
• Assume that you open a .mpp file that is created from an earlier version of Project in Project 2013, and that the "Save files in this format" option is set to the same version as the .mpp file that you are opening. When you try to save the .mpp file, Microsoft Project 2013 asks whether you want to save the project to the Project 2013 MPP format, which is unnecessary.
• When you run a custom report that uses parameter queries to filter results it may take a long time for the report to display. You may also notice that Project consumes a large amount of memory and the size of the file grows significantly.
• Assume that you apply a custom date based interactive filter to a view in a project in Project 2013. Then, you switch to a different view. When you change back to the original view, the Date/Time Picker control associated with the interactive filter may not work.
• Assume that you have a project that has a budget resource assigned to the project summary task. When you view the project in Project Center within Project Web App, the Gantt bar does not correctly display the progress status of the project.
• If you start Project 2013 and try to connect to Project Server before you log on to Project Web App (PWA), Project may crash.
• Assume that you create a text enterprise custom field that contains a lookup table in Project Web App. When you use the text enterprise custom field to apply a grouping to an enterprise view in the enterprise global template in Project 2013, Project 2013 crashes and then restarts.
• When you print a note of a task, and the note spans a page break, the remaining part of the note after the break is missing in Project 2013.

• Project 2013 may crash in the following scenarios when Lync 2013 or 2010 is running:
  • When you perform actions such as opening projects.
  • When you move the mouse pointer over the fields such as resource names.
• Consider the following scenarios:Consider the following scenario:
  • You create a lookup table in Project Web App (PWA), and the lookup table contains multiple values. The total length of the values exceeds 255 characters.
  • You create a custom field that uses the lookup table, and you set the option that requires information in this field.
  • You create a project in PWA for the custom field, you select multiple lookup table values so that the total length exceeds 255 characters.
  • You save, check in, and close the project.
  • You open the project in Project Professional.
  • You make a change in the project and then save it.
  In this scenario, the project cannot be saved, and you may receive the following error message:
  Project cannot save the project to Project Web App. You must first specify values for all required project fields. These fields are indicated with an asterisk in the Project Information dialog box, available from the Project tab.
  In another scenario, you add resources to tasks from PWA.
  • You have multiple resources defined in the server, and the combined length of the names exceeds 255 characters.
  • You open the Project Center in PWA, open a project, select the Schedule project detail page, and then you click the Edit button.
  • You open the Resource Names field for a task and select multiple resources. The total length of the names exceeds 255 characters.
  • You save and then close the project.
  • You open the project and then view the resources assigned to the task.
  In this scenario, some of the resources that you added to the task are not saved. For the resource names that straddle the 255 character limit, only partial resource names are displayed. To resolve these issues, you must install both the fixes in this knowledge base article, and you must also install the fix in KB 2889957.
