Customizing Microsoft Project Field Mappings
You can customize how data is published and refreshed by modifying the project mapping file. When publishing or refreshing tasks in Microsoft Project, the project mapping file determines how the fields in each task are mapped to fields in Team Foundation. Also the mapping file controls the publishing behavior.
You can customize the behavior when tasks are published or refreshed. You can change which fields in Team Foundation are mapped to Microsoft Project fields. You can control if fields are only published, or both published and refreshed.
