CustomFields::CreateCustomFields2 method
Creates enterprise custom fields, where formulas are in a language-dependent format.
Namespace: WebSvcCustomFields
Assembly: ProjectServerServices (in ProjectServerServices.dll)
Parameters
- cfds
- Type: WebSvcCustomFields.CustomFieldDataSet
The CustomFieldDataSet contains the custom field definitions.
- validateOnly
- Type: System.Boolean
If true, validate the CustomFieldDataSet without creating the custom fields.
- autoCheckIn
- Type: System.Boolean
If true, check in the custom fields after they are created.
Formulas in the CustomFieldDataSet that are used to calculate custom fields or graphical indicators can be written in the locale format that is specified in the Regional and Language Options control panel of the computer running Project Server. The CreateCustomFields2 method saves the formulas in a language-independent format. By comparison, the CreateCustomFields method saves formulas without regard to the locale format.
