A task that has 7 hours allocated to it it trackstudio is exported with time as:

<Duration>PT0H0M7S</Duration>

Obviously it ought to be
<Duration>PT7H0M0S</Duration>

ok, will check.

[admin]

Hmm, duration is the difference between 2 days, please check ActualCost.

[TimPigden]

ActualCost is 3600000 - but that's going into a cost field in any case, which doesn't make sense. This is what you are exporting for a 1 hour task

You will see that the work is set to 3600 Hours in the assignment - which it doesn't like. Also Actual work on assignment is wrong
But in the task you are setting the ActualCost to 3600000 - which is a money field and you are setting ActualWork to zero.

I think it's just wrong and needs proper testing your end. Which version of MS Project has this been tested against?

Hello
Can you help us with this question?
Actually I don't have enough experience with MS and another developer who did this code too. For this reason we used an ActualCost field like spend time.
So can you tell us what field more appropriate for this aim?

Kind regards
