Update and save
1
Review the project lead
Check the displayed lead. The form labels it Automatically synced when details are available. Correct a synced lead in the connected project system; it cannot be typed over here. For a project without a synced lead, ask the MSP administrator which project-management workflow applies.
2
Select the Client Sponsor
Open Select a company user, search by name or email, and choose the intended person. To clear a selected sponsor, open the picker and select that same checked person again. If no eligible user appears, ask the MSP administrator to check the Company user record; do not create a duplicate person just to fill this field.
3
Maintain Additional Contacts
Select Add contact, then enter Organization, Name, Email, and Phone as appropriate. You do not need every field, but an email must be valid if entered. Completely blank rows are omitted when saving. Use Remove contact on a row to remove it from the form.
4
Save Changes
Select Save Changes and wait for success. Adding, removing, and typing within the dialog are unsaved form changes until this step. Revisit Overview and reopen Contacts to verify the saved sponsor and list.
