Hey it's cool already I'm just hoping there's a way to do this:

I use the project central for planning and working on projects.

I create projects that are the same for each client so is there a way a project complete with sub projects and tasks could be saved as a template?

Or even a way to copy and paste an existing and then change just a few details?

This would be a real timesaver for me.

Thanks for the wicked software already :-)

Regards

Mike
 
If you use OmniFocus, there's a script that does this already. I haven't had a reason to use this script, but it definitely is useful when you have similar projects that occur on a regular basis.
 
I completely agree with you Mike. I would love to see a templated project option. In the meantime, I've created templated tasks with a list of all the next actions I will need to complete to move the project along. Not the easiest or fastest solution, but it's working for now.

Don't even need a script in OF to do that. I've got several project templates in a template folder in OF. I have mine all as inactive or on hold projects. I just select one when in project mode and do a command D to duplicate it. It ends up at the top level, I can drag it to wherever I want it and make it active. I usually change the project name at that time to reflect this particular instance of the project.
