December 6, 2016, update for Project 2013 (KB3127978)

Improvements and fixes

• Update the translation of the confirm message on a dialog box that appears when you change and close a project in Project 2013.
  
  

• Fixes the following issues:

  • Ribbon buttons such as the Edit Item button may be disabled on a SharePoint tasks list if there are multiple pages of tasks.
    
    

  • 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 save a Project 2003 project to Project Server, resource custom field values may be lost.
    
    

  • When you open an XML file, you may find that work on existing assignments is lost, assignment delay is reset to zero, and assignment finish dates are incorrect.
    
    

  • You may find that the modified date for a project as seen within the Clean Up Cache dialog box incorrectly shows the date and time as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) instead of being adjusted to your time zone.
    
    

  • 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.
