Duplicate project framework, but not items

I would like to be able to create a new project by duplicating another project with all of the administrative items intact, but not include the individual items (in my case, test verifications). Basically, create a shell ready to be populated. Is this possible or will I need to create it from scratch?

    The usual way to do this is to create a read-only "template" project, and then any project that wants to start with that template is created by duplicating the template project.  The template project is created by duplicating the original project, creating an advanced filter which matches only "non-administrative items", doing a bulk delete of items that match that filter, and then make the new template project read-only.   The "create advanced filter" step is necessary because only you know what you consider to be "administrative items".

    I have created it from scratch. It would be great to have the option to enable/disable the copying of

    • explorer tree items
    • test plans and test groups (eventually test cycles and test runs too)
