STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create project template and ensure Financial status is set to Open under Project Properties Settings.
2. Attempt to create project via XOG using template you created in step 1
3. Notice project is created successfully but Financial Status is set to Hold instead of Open. Note: Creating project via same template using UI sets Financial Status to Open as expected.
