Applying project template when creating project

You can choose one of your project templates when creating a project using the add-on. However, please note that the way values are transferred to the project may vary. There are two possible options:

1. If you define one or more language pairs and select a template with predefined language pairs then only the ones from the add-on will be applied. The same logic applies to selecting a client and a secondary manager.

2. If you don't define the language pair when creating the project then the ones from the selected template will be applied.

Note: using a template with jobs that have language pairs will not allow you to transfer any data defined in the add-on fields.
