Description of the security update for Project Server 2013: February 13, 2018

• Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a task that has a resource assigned.
  • The task has a split in it. For example, there is a week of work, a week that has no work, and then a final week that has work.
  • In the timesheet for this task, you enter hours on the task so that the work is completed up to the date where the split begins.
  • The timesheet is submitted, and then the status update is approved.
  • After that, the project is opened in Project Web App, and the task finish date is adjusted to a date that's after the actual work is completed. For example, the actual finish date is set to the middle of the week where there is no work.

  In this situation, the actual work is spread over the whole duration.

• Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Project Web App site and Project Professional 2013 in your organization.
  • You create some custom project fields and add them to your project detail pages (PDPs).
  • In Project Web App, you create a new project and add values for these custom fields.
  • You open the project in Project Professional 2013, make a change, and then save the project.
  • You open the project in Project Web App and view the custom field values on the PDPs.

  In this situation, the values for these custom fields may be lost.
