A project template is an object that allows new projects to be created with a predefined setup, which may include tasks, sections, rules, etc. It simplifies the process of running a workflow that involves a similar set of work every time.

Project templates in organizations are shared with a single team. Currently, the team of a project template cannot be changed via the API.
