#337 Missing Extended Attributes

[Alonso Quiroz]

The XML generated from MPP (using last version of MS Project) cames with empty section <extendedattributes> directly inside the Project tag.</extendedattributes>

If we look the XML generated by MS Project for the same gantt, it has 80 lines between <extendedattributes> and </extendedattributes> tags, corresponding to the extended attribute which we configured in MS Project, plus 10 blocks with the following form (Duration1 to Duration10):

    <ExtendedAttribute>
        <FieldID>188743783</FieldID>
        <FieldName>Duration1</FieldName>
        <Guid>000039B7-8BBE-4CEB-82C4-FA8C0B400067</Guid>
        <SecondaryPID>255868968</SecondaryPID>
        <SecondaryGuid>000039B7-8BBE-4CEB-82C4-FA8C0F404028</SecondaryGuid>
    </ExtendedAttribute>

which we didn't configure.

Also, the XML from MPXJ has no <extendedattribute> tag inside <task>, while it do comes in the XML generated with MS Project.</task></extendedattribute>

There's no problem when we try with any MPP generated with older versions of MS Project.

It may be related to ticket 297 (https://sourceforge.net/p/mpxj/bugs/297) that we created in 2016.

We're using the 7.9.3 version.

Forget about it, sorry. The situation occurs with a specific file. It must be an error with MS Project.
If we create a new file with extended attrbutes, it converts flawlessly.
