We have changed our Naming Convention as a team and I want to rename our templates. There appears to be no way to do this unless you create a project, rename it and then make that a template. The issues with that are below. Is there anything coming that would allow for renaming a template without all of this extra work and issues?

1. The tasks autoassign so I need to warn my team to ignore them
2. I need to then go in, unassign and then delete those tasks (if I don’t unassign they stay in the team’s “My Tasks” section unless I permanently delete the task which takes forever because you can’t mass permanently delete)
3. Then I need to delete the project

Welcome to the forum, @Tracey_Molloy! If you go to edit your project template and go to the settings section, you should be able to rename the template (it’s definitely confusing to find the first time).
