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 Everyone,

    We have received news from the related team that a fix will be implemented in a future update. We suggest keeping your Office up to date to get the fix once it is released.

    Thank you very much for reporting the issue and for your patience.

    Regards,

    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
