Referencing project template's own sections in its task templates

Hey there,
I am using project templates a lot for recurring projects/campaigns, but I find that I cannot reference the parent project template’s own sections in its task templates*.* Basically, I have to set up all the task templates after the projects are created from the template, making it a lot less useful - especially if there’s tens of task templates. It also makes governance more tedious, as I have to update everything and cannot rely on my colleagues to just pull a project from a template and voila it works.

A simple example:
When using the task template “Ad hoc”, tasks should land in the section “Ad hoc tasks”. When designing my project template, I cannot by default reference the project template’s own section “Ad hoc tasks”. I can reference any other project/section in the system, which is not useful for this purpose. It should reference the section in the project being created.

I know that I could use workarounds with rules etc, but this seems like a pretty obvious and simple feature. Am I doing something wrong or does this just not exist?

Hope ya’ll can help :slight_smile:

@Nikolaj_Kaae_Kirk,

I’ve moved this topic to where you can click the title to scroll to the top and vote by clicking the Vote button (as I just did; I want this too!).

(I couldn’t find an existing English Forum > Product Feedback request for this in my search but I may have missed it because I could have sworn I asked for this before.)

Thanks,

Larry
