Hi Allison (et al), I suspect that the reason Templates do not default to a particular Group is that, As Designed, the "reusable" nature of a Template was imagined to be used across a variety of business situations and people, with "Group" being one of several decisions made at the time a particular Project was created, (historically) then controlling access to that Project. In some instances, Templates are also "smaller", and intended to be injected into Project plans when certain events arise -- and again, making such "mini-Templates" independent of a Group then increases their reusability (As Designed).
