Mavenlink Project Templates API

Project Templates are sets of tasks and attributes that can be applied to new or existing projects.A single template can be used on any number of projects.A project template's tasks are all stored in an attribute located on the project template object called raw_json.It is a JSON hash of all the stories that has been turned into a string and is stored on the object.##### Project Template Stories (Tasks) - raw_jsonA project template's tasks are all stored in an attribute located on the project template object called raw_json.It is a JSON hash of all the stories that has been turned into a string and is stored on the object.Stories within the JSON have the following attributes: * `title` - The title of the task. * `billable` - The title of the project template. * `relative_start_date` - An integer that represents the start day of the task relative to the startof the project. * `relative_due_date` - An integer that represents the end day of the task relative to the startof the project. * `duration` - The number of days the task will take to complete. * `temp_id` - The unique reference ID for the task (used for dependencies). * `description` - The task description. * `budget_estimate_in_cents` - An integer (whole number) that represents the budget estimate, incents, for the task. * `time_estimate_in_minutes` - An integer (whole number) that represents the time estimate, in minutes,for the task. * `sub_stories` - An nested array of sub-tasks that have the same structure as tasks. * `checklist` - An array of strings, each being a checklist item on the task. For example, "checklist":["item one", "item two"]. * `tag_list` - A string with tags that are comma separated. For example, "design, engineering, this has spaces." This creates three tags: "design", "engineering", and "this has spaces." * `assignments` - An array of objects with key value pairs "assignee_id":id. For example, [{"assignee_id":100},{"assignee_id":101}] This task would have two resources assigned to it. These are the IDs of two associated project templateassignments. Project template assignments are associated objects. * `dependencies` - An array of objects that represent a task's dependencies. A dependency is an object that connects two tasks, and is used in Gantt charts. A dependency objectlives in the dependencies array on it's source task, not it's target.Dependencies have the following attributes: * `source_id` - The temporary ID of the first task (source task) in the dependency. * `target_id` - The temporary ID of the second task (target task) in the dependency. * `type` - There are four types of dependencies, numbered zero through three. * 0 - From the beginning of the source task to the beginning of the target task. * 1 - From the beginning of the source task to the end of the target task. * 2 - From the end of the source task to beginning of the target task. * 3 - From the end of the source task to end of the target task. * `lag` - An integer that represents the number of days delay that occurs between the two tasksin the dependency.raw_json example:```[ { "story_type":"task", "billable":true, "relative_start_date":1, "relative_due_date":2, "title":"Task One", "temp_id":1, "dependencies":[{"source_id":1, "target_id":2, "type":2, "lag":0}], "description":"this is a task", "assignments":[{"assignee_id":"26"}], "tag_list":"difficult,easy", "budget_estimate_in_cents":40000, "time_estimate_in_minutes":1200, "sub_stories": [ { "story_type":"task", "billable":true, "due_date":nil, "start_date":nil, "relative_start_date":1, "relative_due_date":3, "title":"Sub Task One", "description":"this is a sub task", "assignments":[{"assignee_id":"27"}], "budget_estimate_in_cents":20000, "time_estimate_in_minutes":300, "temp_id":3 } ] }, { "story_type":"deliverable", "billable":true, "endDay":4, "relative_start_date":1, "relative_due_date":4, "title":"Deliverable One", "temp_id":2, "description":"this is a deliverable", "sub_stories":[] }, { "story_type":"milestone", "billable":true, "title":"Milestone One", "description":"this is a milestone", "weight":100, "duration":0, "relative_start_date":5, "sub_stories":[], "checklist":["item one", "item two"], "temp_id":4 }]```.
