        projContext.ExecutingWebRequest += claimsHelper.clientContext_ExecutingWebRequest;
                        var PrjList = projContext.LoadQuery(projContext.Projects.Where(proj => proj.Id == ProjectId));

                        projContext.ExecuteQuery();
                        Guid pGuid = PrjList.First().Id;
                        PublishedProject proj2Edit = PrjList.First();

    What happens if you comment the code where you update "Department"? Are you able to update the first custom field then? I am having a similar problem where the first custom field is not being updated.

    Also clean up your code a bit.

    Here are two articles that may help you:

    • http://www.jonashendrickx.com/2016/03/31/authenticating-with-csom-in-project-server-part-2/
      I created this to make my code compatible with both Project Server Online and Project Server On-Premises.

    Have you tried doing a:

    projCheckedOut.Update() prior to the publish?

    After each SetCustomFieldValue call, you need to run the update method on the draft project object. For example:

    projCheckedOut.SetCustomFieldValue(cflist.FirstOrDefault().InternalName, new[] { "Entry_6a51155570f5e51180d000155dd43708" });
    QueueJob qJob = projCheckedOut.Update();
    JobState jobState = projContext.WaitForQueue(qJob, 1000);
    projCheckedOut.SetCustomFieldValue(cflist.FirstOrDefault().InternalName, new[] { "Entry_0a3970a471f5e51180cc00155dd45b0a" });
    QueueJob qJob = projCheckedOut.Update();
    JobState jobState = projContext.WaitForQueue(qJob, 1000);
    At the end of all the field updates, you only need to run the Publish method once.

    Hi,

    Update custom field as values as below and then write update/publish statements.

    projCheckedOut[internalName1] = "value";

    projCheckedOut[internalName2] = "Your value";

    .

    .

    // then your update statements.    QueueJob qJob = projCheckedOut.Publish(true);

    QueueJob qJobUpdate = projContext.Projects.Update();
        JobState jobState = projContext.WaitForQueue(qJobUpdate , 70);

    Thanks, Ram
