Create RRC Project Area - cannot select Project Template
Create Project Area from the drop-down menu at the Administration Icon within RRC allows to select a Project Template.
But if you select first the entry "Manage Project Areas" (jts) an call the Create Project Area from there, you do NOT have the option to select a RRC project template.
Why is this option missing here (this option is available, if you create a Lifecycle Project)?
Or is there another way to apply a project template after creation?

Accepted answer
The easist way to create a project based upon a project template is from the RM Web admin menu option "Create Project" and choose the template from the create wizard.
FYI: In RRC V4.0.1 there is the intention to allow, in the project "Manage Project Properties" RM admin page, to import the project configuration from another project in the same repository:

Hello Donat,
Project templates are a concept specfic to RRC. The "Create Project" wizard knows about project templates and allows you to choose one.
The "Create Project Area" link in "Manage Project Areas" opens a project area editor that is not customized to RRC. That editor does not know about project templates; it only understands and exposes process templates.
Process templates define information about roles, permitted actions, preconditions and follow-up actions. Project templates define artifacts, artifact templates, artifact types and attributes, links between artifacts, link types, folder structure, tags, and shared saved filters.
You cannot modify templates for requirements projects after they are created.
Hope that helps,

Just want to be clear on the navigation:
Active Project Areas > Create Project Area or
Active Project Areas > Create Project Area or
Application Administration > Manage Project Areas > Create Project Area, you never see the full set of project area templates including custom ones.
However, if you are in the context of any project area, e.g. a Dashboard and use Application Administration > Create Project Area, you get a Wizard and you do see all your templates.

Hi Donat Hutter,
I think it might be a browser issue.Check out whether the browser you are using is compatible.

I'm working with FireFox ESR 10 version.
Note: follow these steps:
1) from the admin icon within RRC (/rm/web) select Manage Project Areas
2) from there (/jts/applicationAdmin?owningApplicationKey) choose Create Project Area. Here I can select a Process Template, but not a Project Template.
If you create a Lifecycle Project you can choose both, Process and Project Template.
