PPM: Custom Fields on Project Detail not appearing

[former_member235871]

Hi,

We have a requirement where we need to add custom fields to Project Details tab under Project Management and to Item Details under Portfolio Management. I have started with Project Detail and I have followed the below steps but the custom fields are not appearing.

1. Enhanced DPR_PROJECT table to add custom fields using the include structure CI_DPR_PROJECT
2. Ran the report DPR_CUST_FLDS_IN_FC_MAP and verified the table DPR_FC_MAP
3. Set up field controls - all the steps - setting up field control under DPO and adding new fields to the external structure DPR_TS_API_PROJECT_O.
4. Defined field group and added fields to field groups
5. I have even assigned the field control profile to a specific field type.

Please let me know if I am missing out anything. I read somewhere in the forum that server need to be restarted to have the changes reflect on the view; is this necessary?

Thanks,

Hashim

Hello Hashim

Have you assigned the Field Control to the Project Type?

Once you have done so and if it is still not showing then restart the server

Hey Hashim,

     There are two extra tricky things:

     First you need to enhance the field control for DPR_PROJECT, check how the standard is made and create a post-exit enhancement to the same method.

     Second, PPM project data is mostly based on shared memory objects. Therefore, you need to start transaction SHMM and reset the buffer.

     Hope it helps!

I think the restart worked (I am not sure who restarted though)

It wasn't me, I solemnly swear!
