Text Value

A text value of type integer is required.

Remarks

Custom field definitions must specify the type of project entity with which they are associated. For example, a custom field named Team Name, where ElemType = 21, is associated with a resource entity. For enterprise project custom fields, all tasks in a project have the same custom field value.

Example

In the following example, the Health enterprise custom field, of type Text (CFType = 7), is associated with the task entity (ElemType = 20). The decimal value of FieldID corresponds to the b408001 element name in tasks, where the lookup table value for task UID 1 is On Schedule and the lookup table value for task UID 2 is Late.

The Plant ID enterprise project custom field value is associated with all tasks, including the project summary task (UID = 0). The FieldID decimal value 190873613 = the hexadecimal value of the b60800d element name. The Plant ID custom field value is Plant 47 in all tasks.
