    Maybe you should start at the beginning with your goal.

    If all you want to do is to start with say a half a dozen templated projects which each have a different set of tasks, click 1 button and get a copy of the project made along with its set of tasks, then all you want to do is to use the native functionality to Copy Master Detail.

    That button is on App management and that will walk you though the setup in a few clicks.

    Is that your real goal?
