Currently, I'm trying to create some custom fields, but I don't want to repeat them in all the tasks, I want to use the option of custom fields by project but the option is disabled. I want to know how to enable it and use it inside my project.

The highlighted option is disabled.

Custom Fields dialog - Project radio button disabled

  • I don't have an option like that (is "proyecto" = "draft" in English?!?) - what version of Project are you using?

    apparently, that option is only enabled when MS Project is connected to Project Server. link

    @Pipe2290 is correct. The abilty to create Project level fields is only available when running Project Professional connected to Project Server. So are both your laptop and desktop project professional? Are both connected either to Project Server or Project Online?

From MSDN: Local and Enterprise Custom Fields

Local Custom Fields

(...)

You can assign local custom fields to resources and tasks, but not to projects. In practice, if you use interim plans you should not use the task Start1-10 or Finish1-10 custom fields because Project uses those fields to store dates for interim baseline plans.

(...)

Enterprise Custom Fields

(...)

Enterprise custom fields can be assigned to projects, resources, and tasks in Project Server.
