Project template created from existing project doesn't contain any TMs whatsoever

Question

Dear SDL Community, 
 I created a project template from an existing project with a dozen language pairs and was surprised that only the language pairs themselves are transferred. Not the TMs itself, nor any of the custom filter, penalty or search settings. 
 
 Unless I'm missing something, I find this quite contraintuitive, since the purpose of a template is to save time. But if I have to add TMs and adjust settings for all language pairs again, that sounds like a lot of extra work. Obviously you could start by creating a project template before creating your first project, but I fail to see why it wouldn't be possible to transfer the TM information and the TM settings from an SDLPROJ file to an SDLTPL file. 
 Any feedback would be appreciated to get to the bottom of this. 
 Kind regards,

 Apologies for the late response. You marked this as a discussion and responded to it so my filters missed it. I changed it to a Q&A as this is better generally since I can always see the unanswered threads. My fault, but you may want to note this for the future. 
 Pascal Zotto - thanks for pointing to this ... 
 On the problem. Yes, I can reproduce this in 2019 and also in 2021. I'm mentioning this because it's too late for it to get into the initial release for 2021 now and will have to be in a future update. I'll log this with development and will provide you with our bug reference once I have it.
