## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Have 2 project attributes enabled in a project.
2.  Set 1 attribute to visible=false in the project attributes admin settings (admin/settings/project\_custom\_fields/\<id\>/edit).
3.  Set values for both custom fields with an admin on the project Overview page.
4.  Edit the the visible project attributes's value on the Overview with a project admin user who can only see the visible attribute.
5.  Login with the admin and see the Project Overview, the invisible attribute's value is deleted.

### What is the buggy behaviour?

*Please describe the bug in as much detail as possible. Example:*

  - The invisible project attribute's value is being deleted when a user who cannot see it edits the project attributes. This is incorrect.

### What is the expected behavior?

*Describe how the application should behave like. Example:*

1.  The invisible attribute's value should be preserved, when users who cannot see it edit the project attributes.
