Improvements and fixes

This update fixes the following issues:

  • Assume that you open a project from a Project Server, that and you insert a project, and that during the insertion process, you deselect the Link to project option. Also assume that the project that you insert has custom fields. After you save, close and check in the master project, custom fields values that were previously associated with the inserted project may be missing.
  • Consider the following scenario:
    • You have a manually scheduled task where the duration is greater than zero.
    • The task is partially complete.
    • The Mark task as milestone property of the task is set.
    • You save the project in the XML format.
