Issues with Enterprise vs Custom Enterprise fields

$

In Project Server 2003 when we set it up we Customized the Enterprise fields.  For example,  In MS Project Server 2003 we went into the Customize Enterprise Fields and selected Field Task, then in the drop down selected Flag.  That came up and gave us Enterprise Flag1 through Enterprise Flag20.  We selected Enterprise Flag1, added a graphical Indicator and then clicked on the Rename button to rename it to Cobra Xfer.  So when they were using this field it would display in their project as Cobra Xfer but in macros we could refer to the field as pjTaskEnterpriseFlag1 and everything was working great.  We converted to Project Server 2010 and apparently it converted the Customized Enterprise fields to Custom Enterprise Fields so when you into PWA under Server Settings and select Enterprise Custom Fields we see all of the fields as we had renamed them (not the original name as Enterprise Flag1 but I can still reference that field in macros as Enterprise Flag1.  The issue is that when we go into Enterprise Custom Fields we could not edit any of those fields, so if a formula changed or if we wanted to change the graphic indicator we couldn't do it, we would get a very generic error message.  We decided to try creating Project Server 2010 from scratch instead of migrating the data over.  I created the custom fields Cobra Xfer among others but when we bring in a spreadsheet that was created in the old system, nothing shows up in the Cobra Xfer field.  If we insert a column and type in (because we can't select it from the drop down list when inserting a column) Enterprise Flag1 then the data shows up.  So it is acting like the enterprise fields still exists and in the project from the old system the data is stored in the Enterprise Flag1 field even though in the project it shows Cobra Xfer, but the formatting of the field is not there.  The formatting of the field is with the Custom Enterprise Field Cobra Xfer.  In Project Server 2003 I was able to rename the Enterprise Flag1 field, In Project 2010 how do I either custom the Enterprise Flag1 field to add the graphic indicators and rename or how do I link or create an aliases of that field to the Custom Enterprise Field Cobra Xfer?   Thank you,  Casey
