Template project - how to deal with dates ?

Added by Olivier Dalang over 5 years ago

Hi !

We need to implement a project template that represents all standard phases and durations for our projects. As said in the docs [https://docs.openproject.org/user-guide/projects/#create-a-project-template] this can simply be done by creating a project, that we'll then copy to instantiate a new project based on that template.

But how should one deal with start/end dates with such a setup ? I couldn't find a way to easy shift all work packages start/end dates according to the actual project, meaning that I'll have to manually change all date_start and date_end attributes (which will take ages for each new project and is very error prone)... The relations (predecessor and successor) are too complex for this to work by just changing the start date of the first work package...

Any idea ?

Thanks !!
