Sharing project templates for existing Project Areas
Hi,
I have a question about a supported scenarios in case of project template sharing:
The recommended way is to use the Unconfigured template in case of new PAs because this is the easiest way to assure that all configuration data is inherited [1] [2].
But how inheritance works in case you need to make changes in the consumer project that was created based on a different project templates?
For example, I've 1 single provider project area and 2 types of consumers, some are based on Unconfigured template (A) and some were originally based on Scrum (B) (older projects).
Is the second scenario (B) supported?

Hello Tadeusz,
(possibly Jared or Ruby - Martha Andrews) may correct me but given:
https://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m6/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.jazz.platform.doc%2Ftopics%2Fc_sharing_project_area_process_web.html
(...)
Using a template that defines its own process causes the project area that consumes process to override the process it is consuming, which is not usually the behavior that you want.
(...)
Which I interpret as:
- supported
- the SCRUM based consumer projects will override settings in parent PA
(which make inheritance useless here)

Is there any document that describe such scenario?
Thanks!
