March 6, 2018, update for Project 2013 (KB4018292)

This article describes update 4018292 for Microsoft Project 2013 that was released on March 6, 2018. This update has a prerequisite.

Be aware that the update in the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2013. It doesn't apply to the Office 2013 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home. (How to determine?)

This update fixes the following issues:

• If your project has manually scheduled tasks, and server notifications and reminders are turned on, you may receive unnecessary modified task notifications.
• After actual work from a status update is applied to a project task, the work values may not appear in the project as expected. For example, you report 4 hours on a day, but when you open the project, you don't see the time-phased actual work value. This issue may occur when you assign a new resource to a task that is completed.
• Assume that you create an .mpp file in a SharePoint document library, and then synchronize the library to the local computer by using OneDrive. When the file path is longer than 128 characters, the .mpp file can't be opened in Project 2013.
• When you open an XML file that has time-phased baseline data in Project 2013, the time-phased data on assignments may be displayed incorrectly. For example, the time-phased work hours that you entered are 2, 2, 2, 2. However, they are displayed as 2, 0, 0.58, 1.42, 0. The totals stay the same.
• When the Status field is referenced in a task custom field formula, other calculations may go slowly. For example, when you enter time-phased work data, it takes several seconds before you gain back control.
