Attaching Template/Template Tasks to the already existing Project/Tasks

I have created a project with a huge bunch of tasks without any template and is in progress, almost 50% complete. But now I am trying to link the Template tasks to my project tasks, I dont see any field on the Task details to attach or link the Template tasks. I was able to attach the Template to the Project level but not able to detach.

 

I have 10+ projects (50 tasks each) to update with the Template references. Please provide any Ideas on this.

I'm not sure I understand fully but templates and their tasks are designed to apply at the project level.  Anytime you attach a template to a project it will pull in those tasks from the template into your project. It sounds like you have non-template tasks you created in a single project and you want those to be connected to tasks that are part of a template?  There is no way to connect or link tasks in Workfront.

If you're projects are not yet started you could select and remove all of your tasks then use the 3-dot menu to attach template to grab the template that has the template tasks you want..again not sure I understood right?
