Improvements and Fixes

Fixes the following issues:
  • When you apply actual work to a project in Project 2013, the actual work may be applied to an incorrect resource. This issue may occur when one resource is exchanged for another while a status update is pending.
  • When you edit a cell through the entry bar for a project in Project 2013, the cell is displayed as solid black and you cannot see the cell value.
  • When you export an XML file and then import it to a new project in Project 2013, the work and the actual work time-phased values may be incorrect.
  • When you publish a project to a project server that contains an updated status manager on a task, the status manager name is not updated in the reporting database on the server.
  • When you browse to the Project Center and then click to open a project in Project Professional, the wrong profile may be used and the URL information in the profile is overwritten with the wrong details. This issue occurs most frequently when you have multiple URLs that point to the same physical Project Web App (PWA) instance, and you have different profile in Project Professional for each URL.
  • When you try to save enterprise resources where there is an enterprise custom field originally created in Project 2003, the changes are not saved.
  • When you open a series of projects that have cross-project dependencies in Project 2013, Project may crash.
