Hi all, 

I was wondering if anyone had a list of what fields get imported into Project for the Web(P4W) when importing an MPP file. I’ve seen the list of what does not get imported in, but it’s not quite what I’m looking for. 

There are obvious ones like notes, name, finish etc, but are there any fields in Project desktop I can fill in that will map to either Buckets or Labels in P4W? I know it’s a stretch, but if it’s possible to import into a custom text column that would be amazing (but I’m not holding my breathe.) 

Essentially currently we have excel sheets with 300+ tasks each that have been exported from another system. These tasks need to be input into P4W, inclusive of outline level/correct summary task order and notes – I have resolved this by importing the Excel file into Project Desktop to keep the correct formatting, and then using the ‘import project as plan’ function to put the MPP into P4W. 

It would be great if in this import process I could also have either buckets or Labels(or both!) mapped, as they currently have to be manually added a once the import is complete. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
