Error msg pop up when I update a project task record.

[Yamja]

Hi,

I have a parent project task and child project task records. When I am trying to update planned end date of child project task,I am getting a pop up msg "Name field can not be empty". I tried looking at client scripts and business rules nothing has found. Please can anyone let me know the root cause. It is only happening when I update the planned end date, it still allowing me to update but getting a pop up msg.

Hi @Yamja,

There is a BR on project table "Make Name mandatory", if the project name is empty this error will be thrown. 

Please check the hierarchy of the task and see if any parent projects are not having the Project name.

Let me know if it was helpful.

Thanks,

Hi Nootan,

I tried to do project field not empty but still getting that msg. It is happening only when I change planned end date. I tried to do inactive all the project fields and update it, still getting same issue. Below is the screenshot for the same.

Hi @Yamja.,

Open planned_task table in list view, and add the filter "top_task IS PRJ0010113" and get all the tasks related to this particular top task and see if any task is having the Short description as empty.
Since Short description is mandatory Its very confusing that how can any task will not be having a name.
Also there can also be a deleted task which may not be deleted properly and some relationship might have got messed up.
So in planned task table, if you are able to see any task without short description, that need to be updated.

2nd thing to do is, on the master project, open the Project Diagnostics from related links. Use this feature to check  if any task present with "Invalid top task, parent or relation". This can help you to address the issue.

let me know if it was helpful.

Thanks.
