Unable to edit custom column added in planning view on project workspace: SPM

Hello,

 

Since I haven't been able to get responses on the SPM forum, posting the question here.

 

I have created a custom column: Task Category and added it on the planning view on project workspace. Please refer to the screenshot. As you can see, I am unable to edit the column even as an admin. Is there something else I need to configure?

Hi Uday,

 

The issue was that it was a choice field and I had selected allow none as an option for the choice field, which caused the issue. I change the type of field to string and then gave the choices to selected, which worked fine.

 

Thank you for your input.

Ensure there’s no Read-only Access Control on the task_category field for the pm_project_task table.

Even as an admin, ACLs can restrict editing in certain UI contexts.
