Apply one or multiple project templates to an existing project from the project form
or Planning Console.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: it_project_manager

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

A project created from the off-schedule project template honors the off-schedule tasks and adjusts the dates according to the given start date.

When applying a template to a project, the project state is set to the
default state. Activate the default project state (pm_project.state = -5), and use
it as the default value as it is Out Of The Box. You can update the label for the
State field to meet your requirements if
Pending doesn't fit well.  
Wichtig:  
Application of template on a project having project tasks does not apply header information and only appends project tasks after the last project task of the project.
