public void CreateCustomFields2(
CustomFieldDataSet cfds,
bool validateOnly,
bool autoCheckIn
)
Parameters
- cfds
Type: [CustomFields Web service].CustomFieldDataSet
The CustomFieldDataSet contains the custom field definitions.
- validateOnly
Type: System.Boolean
If true, validate the CustomFieldDataSet without creating the custom fields.
- autoCheckIn
Type: System.Boolean
If true, check in the custom fields after they are created.
Remarks
New method in Project Server 2010.
Formulas in the CustomFieldDataSet that are used to calculate custom fields or graphical indicators can be written in the locale format that is specified in the Regional and Language Options control panel of the computer running Project Server. The CreateCustomFields2 method saves the formulas in a language-independent format. By comparison, the CreateCustomFields method saves formulas without regard to the locale format.
Warning
The CreateCustomFields method and the CreateCustomFields2 method, as well as Project Web App, all allow you to create an enterprise project custom field of type Flag, and set the custom field to be workflow controlled. However, Project Server workflows cannot control Flag custom fields. You should not set project custom fields of type Flag for workflow control.
