Let’s assume that within a team of 20 people, only two (A, B) are responsible for editting / maintaing a template. Nevertheless the template is visible to the entire team.
Now, if someone other than the two people, e.g. person C creates a project from the template, then apart from C, A and B are also always project members of that newly created project. Is that correct? if yes, why is that so? A and B should only be responsible for maintaining the template but shouldn’t always be necessarily be included in its execution…
I think because theoretically, if they’re members of the template project, then part of the template is that they are members - so the settings carry over.
For instance, my event template - I maintain it, but the events manager is on there as a member of the project because she’s always going to need access to it, etc. - that’s a project setting that should remain regardless of the initial use of the template.
I would prefer that to having to add her each time. Now that’s a specific example, but the theory is that project members/owners/commenters are and should be part of the template(s).
Hi @Marius_Wedemeyer
I am surfacing this post again. I have a similar situation.
I created a Project, got the sign-off from the process leads and made the project a template.
Now a new person comes to use thew template and creates a new project. Automatically, I get added to the project, when there is no need for me to be added.
What I would like is for asana to prompt the person using the template: do you want to add project members too? similar to the feature of copying a project.
I, of course, maybe using the template feature incorrectly.
@Rashad_Issa, if the template has been added to your Organisation’s template library, you could consider leaving the template itself? That won’t prevent you from using it in the future
Yes, that would work… it just means I now need to put aside sometime to do a proper housekeeping for all the project templates I created and start removing myself accordingly.
