July 5, 2017, update for Project 2016 (KB3203476)

Improvements and fixes

This update fixes the following issues:

• Assume that you create a SharePoint Tasks List in Project Online. After you change the indent of the tasks in Project 2016 and synchronize the tasks with SharePoint, the indent setting isn't synchronized correctly.

• If the task finish date is changed in the schedule web part, the actual work is spread unexpectedly.

• After you replace a local resource with an enterprise resource, the actual work is transferred to the enterprise resource even though it's a protected work.

• When you select a task in the Task Name column in Project 2016, Project 2016 crashes if the first column that's locked of the table is Task Name, and one or more tasks are indented.

• After you import task, resource, and assignment information from an Excel worksheet in Project 2016, the work value is ignored.

• When you open an XML file that has comma decimal characters for numeric values in Project 2016, the numeric values is lost because the numeric values are read incorrectly if Project 2016 uses dot decimal characters.

• Cost precision is lost after you copy and paste a task in a project. For example, if the cost on the source task is $76.85, it will become $76.65 on the pasted task.
