var inn=this.newInnovator();
var TestItem=this.newItem("TestItem","get");
TestItem.setAttribute("select","id","project_name");
TestItem.setID(this.getID());
var TestItems=TestItem.apply();
if(TestItems.isError())
{
top.aras.AlertError("Error:"+TestItems.getErrorDetail());
}
var Project=top.aras.newItem("Project","add");
top.aras.setItemProperty(Project,"name",this.getProperty("project_name"))
top.aras.uiShowItemEx(Project,"tab view",true);

1) why do you query your TestItem which I believe is already your context??

2) this TestItem.setAttribute("select","id","project_name"); shoudl be TestItem.setAttribute("select","id,project_name");

3) you create an Item but you don't execute it's creation using the item.apply() method

This may work

var Project=top.aras.newItem("Project","add");

Project.setProperty("name",this.getProperty("project_name"))

Project = Project.apply();

top.aras.uiShowItemEx(Project.getItemByIndex(0).node,"tab view",true);
