How do I edit content in added columns (e.g. coordinator column, or a custom column)

Hi. I’ve managed to add some extra columns to my chart, but cannot work out how to enter data into them! e.g. Coordinator column, or my own custom ‘owner’ column.

Thanks!

Select the cell and hit F2 or do a single mouse click… It is the usual way to start editing in any table control, from Windows Explorer to Google Sheets.

You may as well open task properties and edit custom column values in their own separate tab.

Coordinator column is just not editable. You choose the resource who plays the coordinator role in the Resources tab of the task properties dialog.

So, if I understand correctly the Coordinator is ALWAYS the same as the resource?
If yes why does it exist? it seems redundant.

On the contrary as a project management team for me it could be useful to assign individuals from PM team, to follow up on tasks and the performance of the resource. In fact we have made a custom column to do that.
We can’t use the Coordinator column for this, right?

Pardon? There may be multiple resources assigned to one task, and one of them may play the coordinator role.

Obviously that is the way to do it then! Thanks
(never realized I could have multiple resources per task)
