Hello! When I create a project from a custom template I have already created I am running into something. After I have created a project from my custom template and I mark things complete or add things to that project that I created, it is updating the template.

Can you help me understand how or why it is updating the template when I make updates to the project?

Hi @Andrea_Bridgman

Okay that is very weird behaviour. If you are following all the correct steps in creating a New Project from a Template, as below;

> **[How to Use Asana Project Templates | Product Guide • Asana Product Guide](https://asana.com/guide/help/projects/project-templates-2.0)**
>
> This section of Asana Guide explains how to use New Project Templates

Can you check that the tasks that you are complete aren’t multi homed in the original template project?

Also can you check the behaviour when you create a project from one of the Asana Template projects?

Welcome to the community…

Regards

Jason.
