Editing a project template without doing it at the end of the creation of a project with that same template

Elisa Calderon

Hello!

In a project template, is there a way to change the settings that are in the second window during the project creation (see first screen capture below) without creating a project with that template and telling Studio to modify it at the very end? 

The date in the capture is integrated in the project template and I would like to modify it. Incidentally, I would also like to know if I can check or uncheck the boxes regarding the editing of the source.

I know I can modify that at the end of the creation of a project using the template in question. But I would like to know if there is a way to do it from the project templates section (second capture below). Thank you so much!

    Hi Paul! Sorry for the late reply.

    Yes you can.  Just select the template and "Modifier..."

    Yeah. That. I know. ;P. The thing is, when I open the template to modify, I cannot find the settings section where I can modify the date or check/uncheck the boxes for the editing of the source (date and boxes shown in my first screen cap). I've done a bit of research and I can't find anything on it. Thanks!

    These are not things you can apply to a Project Template.

    The editing of source you can solve by setting this when you create a project and then applying to the competed project.  Although I'm not sure why this isn't a setting on a template because I think it should be.  Maybe one for to look at?

    The date however is never a template setting for obvious reasons.

    You can set both of these on your completed project though:

    Trados Studio Project Settings dialog box with options for notification email, location, and due date settings visible.

    Hi Paul! Thank you for answering. I thought the date wouldn't be there, but, yes, it would be very useful if the editing of the source would be in the template settings. 

    Thank you again a have a great day!
