#77 Cannot create other types of projects within a Pattern
When creating a Project in a Pattern you may have the choice to create a Project other than the Simple Project. The issue is that if you choose a different one it does not seem to be instantiated, e.g. none of the tasks that Project pattern may have appear in the created Project.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new Pattern
2. Right click on the Pattern and choose New | Project
3 .in the wizard you may have to import the Scrum Process to access the Scrum Project - so import it so the Scrum Project becomes part of the selectable Project list
4. Select the Scrum Project
5. Click Next, at this point the normal project options page appears
6. On clicking on Finish the Project is created in the Pattern but none of the Scrum tasks have been created, its an empty Project
OK. I believe this arises due to the differences within the process world when instantiating patterns. We need to look into what users want in this scenario. Were you wanting to create a new process by instantiating this project and then modifying it? Would the new Copy-and-Paste feature work better for this?
