Add custom fields to Project Tasks

Luca Dell'Angelo asked on October 3, 2014 17:02

Hello, Can I add a custom field to project tasks?

I tried to add a column Col1 to the database table PM_ProjectTask and used ProjectTaskInfo.SetValue("Col1", "testvalue"), but it didn't work.

Any suggestions?

You have to add it through the Kentico Interface, otherwise their api won't know about it.

Unfortunately the table PM_ProjectTask is bound to the class PM.ProjectTask of the "Project management" module and that class is not editable because the module is installed. How can I edit it?

Anyway, I tried the following example about the customization of system's data classes: https://docs.kentico.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=7471613 but still I don't know how to add the new column in the databse by Interface or Kentico API and write values in that column.
