How to set TM field values for Cloud projects inside Trados Studio or via the API?

Question

Hi everyone! 
 In my company, we set two field values for every Trados project. As you know, these settings are located here for local projects: 
 However, we cannot specify field values when creating Cloud project using the new project wizard in Trados Studio: 
 Do you know if it is planned to add a setting for field values in that wizard? 
 Currently, we need to add them in the online dashboard, which is not very convenient. 
 Last question: I wanted to code my own project creation wizard using the API, however it seems that the create project endpoint doesn't support setting field values. Do you know if the API will be extended to support this feature? 
 Thanks for your answers :-)

Hi Jérôme Pott - sorry to come back to this after such a long time - I was wondering if it would be possible to use the project wizard in the browser for this. It does have a Settings step where you can specify TM update values. You would then not be able to use Studio for this particular task, but would this be a big problem for you? The project wizard in the browser has more options, so it might be better anyway to use it in such more advanced cases. Just wanted to make sure that I point this out also. Below is a screenshot of how this looks like in the New Project wizard in the browser. 
 Thanks, Daniel

Hi J&eacute;r&ocirc;me, you should be able to use cloud project templates for this purpose. You should be able to set all the desired settings in the cloud project template and then specify this template when creating the project from Studio and/or use the "Save to Cloud" functionality. Both wizards give you the ability to specify a project template, and those settings should then be used as part of creating the cloud project and you should no longer need to make the changes manually every time. I cannot answer the API question, but I would think the same should apply - when creating a project via the API and specifying a project template that has the TM update settings set, then those settings should be applied as part of creating the project. I hope this helps, thanks, Daniel
