When I convert a mpp with custom fields for tasks to xml, the custom fields values are preserved, but the definition (available values) is lost.
The issue is reproduced with ms-project 2003 and ms-project 2010 (not tested with other versions.
Joined a test-case to reproduce.
Project1.mpp is a simple project with a custom field.
Project1.xml is the same project saved as xml from msproject2003.
mpxj1.xml is the result of Project1.mpp converted to xml with mpxj, using TestCustomFields.java.
The custom field is myCustomField and the values are myValue1, myValue2, myvalue3.

At present MPXJ does not read or write the configuration data used to support custom field value lists. I have moved this item to the feature requests tracker.
