Project Templates - Can you apply them with javascript?

[pgiroux]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to apply project templates to a new project within a workflow.

Thanks,

Patrick.

Ended up figuring this one out.

Insert the project first:

var grProject = new GlideRecord('pm_project');

grProject.assigned_to = current.request.requested_for;

grProject.project_manager = current.request.requested_for.manager;

grProject.short_description = current.variables.u_projectName;

grProject.primary_portfolio = current.variables.u_portfolio;

grProject.description = current.variables.u_description;

var projectId = grProject.insert();

var templateId = "<template sysID here>"; //found under the templates section within projects

Then with the variables above, apply the template with a specific method found in the 'create_project' UI page:

GlideProjectTemplate.apply(templateId, projectId, <string for datetime>);
