Known limitations of Exporting
Known limitations of Exporting
• Custom fields (Text1...Text30 in Microsoft Project) can not contain new lines and must be less than 4000 chars. See Custom fields
Therefore these custom fields are abbreviated (cut to 1000 chars), and all new lines are removed from them
Therefore these custom fields are abbreviated (cut to 1000 chars), and all new lines are removed from them• The "Note" field contains the "Description" of the exported task, but that is abbreviated to 1000 chars.
Missing pieces:
• Assignment of Roles is not clear how to do it, now just a Resource called like "Developer Role" is created and assigned to the Tasks
• When an issue has multiple assigned-to users/roles it is not always appearing as "selected" resource in MS-Project
• When importing a Task with Resource and that resource/user is not found in Codebeamer then that information is "lost"
• Idea: add a custom field -like cb_User- to Resources which allows mapping any MS-Project resource to CB users or roles. Handle this field during export and import.
