Hi,
I am trying to set up a text field which will enable me to use the content to extract certain information in both the task and resource sheet views.
However, although I have entered information into a text field whilst in the gantt chart view, the information does not appear in the same field when in the resource usage view.
Is there a text(or other) field that will store the same information in both views? I don’t want to copy the data across the two views, as this would mean that I would have to do this every time I added a new task.
Any assistance gratefully received!!

Oldest first- 0Tony McClennon ·I guess that this separate fields in both task and resource modes is the cause of the problem.
I can get partial success in either mode by using either the Resource Usage view and grouping by resource group(but this will not allow me to further group by the two work packages that are involved), or by using a task view and grouping by the Work Package ID from the Text field (but where multiple resources are allocated against a task, the grouping will not show a task twice under the respective resource group where two resources are used - it tends to show single resources then "combination" resources).
I suspect that the above makes my situation as clear as mud, but it is the best way of describing the situation that I can think of.
As a final resort, I may be forced to copy the data into Excel and manipulate in there!!
