### Problem to solve Related to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/461846 When creating a project from a template, it's not clear which settings are copied. Our [documentation states](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/custom_project_templates.html#what-is-copied-from-the-templates) the following is copied: > * Branches > * Commits > * Tags But then also in the same section says: > To learn more about what is migrated, see [Items that are exported.](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/settings/import_export.html#project-items-that-are-exported) Which adds many examples: > Project configuration > > Merge requests > > Merge request approvers > > Push rules > > etc... In practice we can see some settings are copied over, but fail to work correctly as shown in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/461846 for merge request rules when using a group of approvers. ### Further details ### Proposal Clarify exactly what can be copied from a template, and what cannot
