For complete documentation on the field mapping file for Microsoft Project, see Add or change how Project fields map to TFS fields. You can customize the mappings, for example, to support a field that you created or to map fields to predefined columns instead of to custom columns. When a user publishes or refreshes work item data in a Microsoft Project file, the field map determines which fields in the work item database match the columns in Microsoft Project. Unlike Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Project uses a limited set of columns, which include predefined columns, such as Task Name, and custom fields. You can change the way specific fields are published and designate the default link type to use when you create hierarchical or tree links and dependency links. You can customize the way in which work item fields that are stored in Team Foundation are mapped to fields that are defined for Microsoft Project.
