    I'm creating a custom PDP for a workflow process and I need to add the folloiwng fields "Project Name" and "Description"

    When I try to create Project Name custom field under server settings I get the following message "The custom field name cannot match the name of any intrinsic fields."

    So I went to the PDP web part Project fields and I found a field named " Project Name". I added it to the Proejct Fields web part, but it displays as "Name".

    How can I change this field that's out of the box? I don't see "Project Name" and "Description" under server settings > Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables to modify them.

    Thank you

    Hi there,

    Project Name & description fields are internal fields in project server which you cannot view in Enterprise custom fields in PWA. You will not be able to create with the similar name. There is no way to change these fields as far as I know. 

    I would suggest to have the new fields name something like  Project_Name/ ProjName or Project_Description/ProjDescription . 

    Hope that helps.

    You could change the labels of those fields on-the-fly through some relatively simple javascript code. This sort of customization would obviously not be fully supported by Microsoft though, but we have implemented it for some of our customers.
