Just to help anyone who encounters this. What I have done is converted all my templates into projects in a separate space and I’m using the API call Duplicate a project to duplicate new projects from them. See example:
new_project = client.projects.duplicate_project(project_gid: ‘xxxxxxxxx’, name: ‘New Project’, team: ‘xxxxxxxx’, include: [‘notes’, ‘rules’, ‘forms’, ‘task_templates’])
This works fine but something to note is that the API docs don’t tell you all the ‘include’ options available. If I had known these I probably would not have bothered looking into the creating form a template solution as I can get pretty much everything I want here now. The full set of ‘include’ options are:
- forms
- members
- notes
- rules
- task_assignee
- task_attachments
- task_dates
- task_dependencies
- task_followers
- task_notes
- task_projects
- task_subtasks
- task_tags
- task_templates
Hope this helps
