Change a Project Template Using a Workflow

Posted on by 250

Hello,

I want to change a project's template using a workflow.  Last week I was able to do this no problem on projects created in Dynamics. Today I'm trying it on projects that were created from imported data and getting the business process error below.  My workflow just has one line to update the template. Should I add more (check condition, delete)?

Any help or insight is appreciated!

    Also, it is worth taking a look at this thread that also talks about project templates. They can be applied in several ways.

    Thanks for responding, Antti.  

    The imported records have the start date (estimated start date) populated but not the actual start date.  There are no time entries entered against any of them.

    I set a project manager but no other resource assignments. I don't understand why a template was applied. I have no business rules set on project.  Where does the value for a default template get set?
