Patty,
This is how it works for me:
- Click "New from Template"
- Select a program to copy from
- Click "Next"
- Complete creation page and hit save
- I now have a new program, based on the program I copied from, with content copied as expected - but it is still a program
- Uncheck the Program checkbox
- I now have a project, with the data copied from the program
I'm not seeing that the 'copy from template' method results in a project - if what I copy from is a program, I get a program; if what I copy from is a project, I get a project. I'm a bit confused by the thread, if I can summarize:
- You create new from template, using a program as source
- Your end result is a project - isn't this what you wanted? (though it seems that the uncheck Program step is missed)
If I read between the lines, I might guess that the original program that you copied from got converted to a project. If so, I'd then ask if you now have two projects with same content or do you just have the one project that once was a program? After a few more questions to confirm user error wasn't involved, I'd suggest contacting Clarity Support as this is very different behavior from what I'm seeing.
The steps I followed above, which work for me, are fine. But if you are looking for something more formal, something that perhaps can be selected as an Action within a program, Jeanne's suggestion is solid.
