field (System.Description) mapping with ms project in FileMapping.xml

I tried to map the fields of my process template with ms project fields.

There is only one field that I have problem with, i.e. System.Description

It is of the type plaintext.

I see in ms project only something of type text, and it seems to be limited to 255 characters.

And I think with plaintext you can add more than that.

I tried different text fields from msproject (e.g. pjTaskText...).

When opening a work item with ms project option in VSTS I get the error that the types for System.Description doesn't match.

Is there anyway or field in ms project that I can map to System.Description?

Thanks for the help.

I'm afraid that is a limitation of the product. MS Project only supports fields with <= 255 characters, so we don't allow mapping fields that can contain more than 255 characters (Plaintext, HTML, and History are the unsupported field types).
