When you create a new task directly on the Timesheet page, regardless of the Finish Date entered
for the task, the task will always be created on the correct Start Date but with a duration of one
day.
When you add nonstandard line classification tasks to a timesheet or manipulate tasks on an unsubmitted timesheet where nonstandard lines exist, you may receive the "_error loading" error
message.
The permissions for all users who should have access to a project site may be synchronized
incorrectly when you publish a project.
Assume that you add the SQL Server Reporting web part to a Project Server 2013 page that
contains other Project Server web parts. When you click the Refresh button in the SQL Server
Reporting web part, the given Project Server web parts will be duplicated.
Assume that you add the Project Server task list as a web part to a SharePoint page, and then you
set a filter for the task list web part. When you browse to the page, the filter does not work
correctly.
Assume that you create a Project Web App (PWA) view for the schedule web part, and the view
contains a filter that has more than 12 clauses. When you apply the view to the Schedule page
while you edit a project, the view loads incorrectly. Additionally, you may receive the following
error message:
Project Web App hit an error processing your request and your unsaved changes were lost. Press
OK to reload the session. Press CANCEL to close the session. If this happens again, contact your
administrator.
Assume that you create a site template in Project Server 2010. Then, you migrate Project Server

site template from the Project Site Templatedrop-down menu.
If you cancel the selection of the Enable Project Site Sync option in the Project Permission Sync

o You delete the value of a custom field that uses a lookup table on the server.
o You publish and check in the project plan. Then, you open the project plan in Project Web
App.
In this scenario, when you click Edit on the Project Details page, you may receive an error
message that resembles the following:

o You create a project, and then add some resources to it.
You save and publish the project; in the Publish Project dialog box, you decide to provision
the site as a subsite of another project.
In this scenario, the permissions on the newly created site may be incorrect. Additionally, in the
Project Server Queue Job Error Details it shows information similar to the following:
GeneralQueueJobFailed (26000) PreparePSProjectPermissionSynchronization.PreparePSProjectPermissionSynchronizationMessage.
Details: id='26000' name='GeneralQueueJobFailed'

email is triggered by an announcements list item that contains many lines of content, the text in
the mail body is formatted as strikethrough.
Note After you install the hotfix package, you have to run the "stsadm –o updatealerttemplates url SiteURL" command to have this fix take effect.
After you install this hotfix package, you can convert path-based site collections to host-named site
collections by using the SPSite.Rename(Uri newUri) method.
Additionally, this hotfix also introduces the SPSite.Rename(Uri newUri, bool
skipSiteMapUpdate) method. The default value of the skipSiteMapUpdate parameter is false, if

o After you install this hotfix package, you can convert path-based site collections to hostnamed site collections by using the SPSite.Rename(Uri newUri) method. Additionally, this
hotfix also introduces the SPSite.Rename(Uri newUri, bool skipSiteMapUpdate) method.

use the SPContentDatabase.RefreshSitesInConfigurationDatabase method to refresh the
configuration database after the rename process is completed.
Some required fields in SharePoint 2013 list forms are not indicated as required to users of
assistive technologies.
Consider the following scenario:
 You browse to a SharePoint 2013 site on a computer that the regional setting is set to
a locale that differs from the default locale of the site.
 You trigger a SharePoint 2013 list workflow that sets the value of a "Date and Time"
column by using an initiation form parameter.
In this scenario, the value of the "Date and Time" column differs from the value of the
initiation form parameter because it uses the time zone of the site instead of yours.
