How to ensure that my new project management project inherits the "company-managed" project type

Sonya Goldstein_v7ehg5

The default JIRA project management template is a Team-Managed project type.  Our administrator overroad the setting for our prototype project and set it to Company Managed.

If I create a new project management project as a non-JIRA admin, the only choice at initiation is choosing the default template which is again team-managed,  If I then choose to copy settings from the "prototype" project, does it switch the project type over to 'Company-managed'?

Hello @Sonya Goldstein 

If you are not a Jira Admin your only choice when creating a new project may be Team Managed.

If you want a project that uses the same configuration as the template project created by your Jira Admins, then open a request with your Jira Admins to have them create a new Company Managed project from the start. They will have the ability to specify during the creation that the new project shares the configuration of the template project.

You cannot copy the settings of a Company Managed project to a Team Managed project. They use different customization/settings architectures. The capabilities of Workflow Customization are not the same between the project types. Company Managed projects can have multiple sub-task issue types while Team Managed projects cannot.

You could try to recreate comparable settings in your TM project, but it would not be the exact same configuration.
