Invalid Value Error

Question: Why do I receive an 'Invalid value' error when updating an MS Project task and how can I resolve it?

Answer: The 'Invalid value' errors during synchronisation often occur when Ceptah Bridge tries to assign a value to a field, and that value is not allowed or is incompatible with the other fields values.

For example, the error is generated when trying to set Start or Finish to a non-working day.

To determine the cause of the error, try entering the same value manually in MS Project and observe the results. MS Project will display a more detailed error message or request a confirmation to perform an action. The latter is a problem for Ceptah Bridge as well, because it cannot handle such prompts.

Make sure that the values that you assign to the fields in MS Project are valid and do not trigger any warnings or prompts. You may be able to work around the problem by changing MS Project settings, working time, or task type.
