For knowledge workers managing hundreds of concurrent projects that touch many departments and teams, a new organizational format would be helpful or the ability to customize your levels: a top-level container (like a portfolio instead of the current project format) where sections instead act as individual projects with their own column custom field values separate to tasks, and tasks populate under each project as work develops. This would eliminate the need to create a new project template for every incoming project, which is impractical at this scale.
Also you should be able to add like a notebook to the section(what would be the new project category) to add meeting notes, reference materials, documents, links, etc).
