Is there a simple way to copy a task template from one project to another? I know that I can multi-home an existing task into a new project & use it to create a template, but it would be easier if I can just copy the template over as a template.

I’m afraid that’s not possible.

> The new task templates functionality is great, but what seriously limits (and likely eradicates) its usefulness is the fact that a Task template is only available in the Project it was created in. Our workspace contains different Teams each with many Projects. We currently have a ‘Tasks’ project in a central Team where users from all Teams can duplicate tasks and move them into a Project. So, the ability to access common Task templates in all Teams and Projects is essential for this to be useful…

Task templates rely on a project’s contents so it might not be so simple to add this feature, or there would at least be exceptions/errors to account for.

If the linked topic matches your request, reply and I’ll merge the topics. If not and you’d like to make a new #Product Feedback request making sure it’s distinct from the other, please do.

Thanks,
