On the iPad, we have introduced Pin Templates to increase flexibility and speed up the creation of Pins on-site.
Pin Templates are only applicable within the same Project. As soon as you Leave the Project or close the app, the Pin Templates will be deleted. They are essentially a "one-time solution". If you are working in the Project again and need the Template, you must recreate it.
The new Pin and its tasks always have the Status "open", regardless of the Status of the Pin you used to create the Template. Therefore, you can also use already closed Pins to create a Template. Pin fields, Category, and datasets are copied into the Template. Comments and Media, however, are not included.
