Environment

Release : 15.X

Component : CLARITY PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Cause

This is caused as the financial status field has a default value as open in the project object whereas the inactive project template is financially closed. 

Resolution

Option 1:- 

Remove the financial status default value in the project object or changed it to either hold or closed. 

This can be navigated via Administration->object->project->attribute->financial status field 

Option 2:-

Add active or financial status field on the project create form which can be navigated vis Administration->object->project->views->layout create

Option 3:-

Activate the inactive project which gives the clarity permission to create a project with open financial status.
