Problems Deleting Process Templates

0
Mike Shkolnik (980●8●161●143) | asked Mar 22 '11, 1:43 p.m.
We did a lot of experimenting and now have a lot of process templates hanging out there that I need to delete. However, when I try to delete them it won't let me, saying:

Deleting process definitions encountered problems

Clicking on "Details" I get:

Exceptions encountered deleting process templates.
Process template referenced by existing project area ''

Ok, so how do I break this association so I can delete the templates? To my knowledge the projects are not actively reading from the template - it's only used at creation time. If it is actuvely reading from the template, how can I associate the projects with the one version of the template I am keeping? The templates don't differ much, so I don't think switching templates will be an issue.

There's no way to break this reference at this point, unfortunately.

 this appears not yet to be resolved.. 


is there something I can do for the community to make this possible?
We need to be able to delete/archive older process templates..

Is there an existing Defect/Enhancement request for this? I'd like to upvote it.
