Hello,
I see that “resource” property has an array. I tried adding arrays in the data, but Gantt displays everything correctly:

Hi, thanks for your answer!

I try to get a custom column data from a project file, but I can’t see it in my callback data (“Texto Que Quiero”) .

I need add custom columns to my gantt using “importFromMSProject” function.

Code

Hello,
Thank you for the clarification.
You need to specify those custom properties before loading the data:

gantt.importFromMSProject({
	data: file,
	taskProperties: ["Notes", "Name"],
	callback: function (project) {

Then Gantt will load custom data so you will see that when you use console.log(project) command.
Before the tasks are loaded, you need to assign those custom properties and delete custom data if you need that:

gantt.attachEvent("onTaskLoading", function(task) {
    if (task.$custom_data) {
        task.notes = task.$custom_data["Notes"];
      	task.resource_names = task.$custom_data["Name"];
//        delete task.$custom_data;
    }
    return true;
});

You can learn more about it in the following article:

Here is the snippet where you can see how it works:
