Problem: How to have additional custom fields imported to Evolve from MS Project via ProjectLink
Fix: See the System Administrator Guide, section titled “COM Interfaces”, for section on “IPvCustomFields”, and section titled “Sample VBA Macros”, for section on “onPvSave_getCustomFieldsToMap”.

There is a limit of 20 fields set by Evolve.


Best practice is to use these fields sparingly, because any fields that are brought over to Evolve from MS Project in this manner will appear on every task of every project managed by ProjectLink, regardless of whether the field is populated or used.
