December 6, 2016, update for Project 2016 (KB3127994)

This article describes update KB3127994 for Microsoft Project 2016, which was released on December 6, 2016. This update has a prerequisite.

Be aware that the update on the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home. (How to determine?)

Improvements and fixes

• Updates the translation of the check in confirm dialog box in Ukrainian when you close a changed project.
  
  
• Fixes the following issues:
  • When you view a custom field lookup table within the Project Information dialog box, you may find that some expected values don't appear.
    
    
  • When you open and save a Project 2003 project to a server, resource enterprise custom field values may be lost.
    
    
  • Consider the following scenario:
    • In a project, you go to the Resource Sheet view where you have resources defined.
    • You insert one of the local Outline Code fields.
    • From the outline code field on a resource or on resources, you select a value from the values that you have defined.
    • You save the project to Project Server.
    • Later, you set the outline code values to something else.
    • You save, close and reopen the project.
    In this situation, the new values that you set into the outline code field on the resources are lost.
    
    
  • After you save a baseline, timephased work and cost values aren't displayed as expected. For example, you may see work and cost during periods where no work or cost exists.
    
    
  • When you open certain XML files in Project, assignment delay is ignored. Therefore, the start and finish of some assignments on a task may be different. This can also cause the given task to schedule differently.
    
    
  • In a master project, when you view the finish date of an inserted project summary task (this is the task that represents a subproject), you may find that it doesn't reflect the latest finish date of the tasks in the subproject.
    
    

To fix the following issue, install December 6, 2016, update for Office 2016 (KB3115278).

Consider the following scenario:

• You create a new report. For example, you create a new report that's based on the default Project Overview report.
• In a field list, you add more than one level of sorting.
• You save your project.
• You open your project.

In this situation, all the elements on the report are lost and all that you see is a blank screen.
