    Hello,

    I'm trying something for a client. I have to read the value of local custom fields TaskText7 and TaskText10 with OData from Project Online and create a report in Excel. The report uses the OData url for retrieving data, and that is it, no C# code.  I can't find them anywhere in OData. Tried to copy the values in an Enterprise Custom Field  but I can't find them in formula either.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Unfortunately for you, only Enterprise Custom Fields created (in the PWA server settings page) are available in the OData API.

    Hope this helps,

    Hello,

    In an enterprise PPM system it would be recommended to use Enterprise Custom Fields. Local fields will not be available in the APIs for reporting plus as you have seen, they can't be reference in Enterprise custom formula fields. They are local to that project only.
