Once you have created the annotation, right click on it and select properties. In the bottom left hand corner of the box that comes up..select Make Auto Annotation. That puts it on every task. You can get cuter by setting the auto to respect a filter if you want such as only tasks or tasks with a certain code etc
The only other option I can see you have is to use the "Task Name" column as your "responsible division" entry and then choose that under "Task Data Display".
"Task Name" is the only text field you have under "Task Data Display", all remaining being numbers/IDs. Of course you then loose other functionalities by utilizing "Task Name" for this, but you still have "Bar Name" as description for the task/activity.
It is possible to apply any information to the bar (left, right, middle, top, bottom), incl. user fields, in many planning software packages, so strange it isnt in Powerproject (or maybe it is, but were just not able to locate the functionally?)

Hi Craig
Goto Insert > Annotation > drag the annotation to the end of the task and lock it on.
Don’t type anything but tap F9 and from the drop down menu select Codes - select the code library that you are using and select the Live option.
Click OK and then cliick anywhere on the chart and the name of the code will appear in the box.
It has to be done for each task - I have not found a way to add to groups of selected tasks.
Best regards
