1. Connect to a system with multiple blueprints or create two new blueprints for Project and Idea (i.e. Test1 and Test Idea 1
2. Ensure you modify the project blueprint, i.e. add Blueprint to Details
3. Connect to New UX - Administration - Blueprints and set the blueprint to default
4. In Classic create a new Idea, ensure in settings that Open for Time Entry is not checked and it's set to Financial status = Hold
5. Submit for Approval - Approve
6. Now Convert to Project
7. Check the Project and note that the default Blueprint is selected correctly as expected

 

 

Additional Information

Note: In 15.8.1 it is no longer possible to set default Blueprint from Clarity - Objects in Studio, they can only be set in New UX. The change was made to avoid mismatching values
