Hi,

I'm trying to limit the number of templates used for project creation in Trados Team. Currently I have a generic template defined with various custom project settings but without a translation engine or workflow. This allows me to create customer-specific templates by copying the generic template and adding a specific translation engine and workflow, thus retaining the custom project settings in any new template. If there's no template defined for a customer, the project manager can select the generic template and specify a translation engine and workflow during the project creation process in Team, thereby also retaining the custom project settings.

The problem with this approach is that the generic template is marked as 'invalid' meaning that it cannot be used to create a project via the API or the Studio project upload feature. So a cloud project created with the API or Trados Studio will not use my custom project settings but Team’s default settings.

I am thinking that the default project settings Team uses must be defined somewhere. Is it possible to change the Team project defaults so that they will be automatically used in newly created templates and projects created without using a template? Or, alternatively, is there a way to change project settings through the API while or after creating a cloud project?

Regards,
Henk
