How to get project form data to populate an issue custom form?

We currently accept project requests through our Request Queue. They come in as Issues, which we then convert to Projects. The data from the Issue custom form carries over into the Project custom form. However, when we want to create an issue associated with a project, the common form field data does not populate on the issue. Is there a way to make this happen? The Use Case: We create a master project to serve as the overview for a program. That master project has a wide variety of custom form fields to define the scope, deliverables, market, market sector, affect products, etc. We want to create issues for the separate deliverables, assign them to the relevant project managers, who will then convert those issues to projects. We don't want to manually enter the common, basic data that is already on the master project and that exists on the Issue form as well. Chris Watson KVH Industries, Inc.
