Is anyone aware of an issue with MS Project 2016 where a custom field is not being saved?

The field is a flag one and is displayed as an image. If the value of the field is changed and the file is saved, when the file is re-opened the value has been brought back to its original value before the change. It works as expected in MS Project 2013.

    Hi Stanislava/Sheen,

    I have just been informed by a user in my organization of this exact issue. Windows version is Windows 10 1809, and the version of Project 365 was just updated to this month's current build for Semi-Annual Version 1808 (Build 10730.20304). This issue existed in the build she was on before today's update as well. Changing Flag 1's value from a Yes to a No, saving the file, closing Project, and reopening shows the value set back to Yes. And again, a user on Project 2013 does not see this problem on the same file. Has there been any progress since the last comment in January?

    Thank you,

    Russell Tatum
