RE: Correct algorithm to create Project using PSI?
Martin,
Can you please elaborate on what is a Project Plan? I cant see why
QueueUpdateProject needs to be called because I can see that the Task Custom
Fields (we use a couple of them) have been pushed once I open the newly
created Project.

Subramanian
