Fields lists empty

[Jylb82]

Hi everyone, i have this problem when configuring the "Owner" field in the "Issues & Risks" tab when adding a Project. It appears empty and I don't know how to populate this field.
The same happens with the "Project Managers", "Project Initiators", "Contributors" from the Project Info tab. Please if anyone knows how to do it I would really appreciate that. Thanks

I do know how to do this for the project initiators, project managers, and contributors groups. I had a similar post about the owner field and there was an explanation posted that explains how it should work for the owner field.

For the groups, you need to edit the project.aspx file. You can do this with Visual Studio. (its in a directory named "default", but may not be the only copy so be careful.) In this file, you will see the sections for each tab of a project. (project info, budget cost, etc.) In the project info section, you will need to make sure that the groups are called out correctly. Here is some code that works for a group named "Project Managers" (and I am not really a programmer) The code that is there may be similar, you will just need to change it and make sure that the group called matches the group name under the user group settings. (i.e. "GRP_PROJECT_MANAGER" calls a group named "Project Managers")

<cell position ="2" usergroup ="GRP_PROJECT_MANAGERS" label="Project Managers" rowspan ="1" width="50"/>

Make sure there are lines that do the same for the contributor and initiator groups.

for owner, my observation is that the users linked to project (through user groups) having edit permission on project will be visible in the owner drop-down.
