Remarks
If the custom field uses a lookup table that does not allow additional items to be entered, the specified Value must match a predefined value in the lookup table.

Example
The following example sets the value of an enterprise task text custom field to one of the valid values in the lookup table for the custom field. To use the example, create a lookup table in Project Web App that includes the value Value 3, and then create a task custom text field that uses that lookup table. Select a task in the active project and run the command in the Immediate window in the Visual Basic Editor.
Application.SetField Field:="TestEntTaskText", Value:="Value 3"
