Change Default View by Project

Description - I'd like to associate task Views with a project template so when a new project is created from that template, the users view defaults to the view selected for that project. That way, when jumping from project to project, I don't have to constantly change my view to see the columns I need, relevant to each project. 

 

Why is this feature important to you - We have several different ways for laying out projects and about 4 different "standard" views we use depending on which project we're looking at. This would save time and frustration for new Workfront users that keep losing the column they need when they jump between projects. 

 

How would you like the feature to work - I'd like there to be a section in Project Details that you could enter a default View for that project

 

Current Behaviour - Currently, I have to manually change the view when I go to a new project

I want this too but not for project templates but more for specific projects. We have grown our number of views that are relevant for specific projects and we are constantly reminding people to update their view in certain projects in order to put in correct task info (have custom form info brought into specific views). Really want to be able to set default views for projects that overrides the default set in layout templates if there is one specified.

I second this. We're migrating a bunch of blogs. I have a view setup that shows title/date/status/url - some of these are custom forms. It'd be nice to force this view on anyone seeing the project.
