Default content for project description

ben_p

Hello DataIKU friends,

I would like to enforce better documentation standard across our DSS project, one way I would like to do this is by having a "template" project description which each author completes, which follows a sec structure.

is it possible to give DSS a default value for the "description" field when a new project is created?

Thanks in advance,
Ben

Hi @ben_p

Have you had a chance to check the project creation macro:

https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/plugins/reference/project-creation-macros.html

So when you finished, you should have something like this in the dropdown for the new projects:

Thanks @sergeyd
, I have not used macros before, but this looks like it will do exactly what I want!

You can use the project creation macros to set a default description when a project is created. Another option is to build a custom plugin that automatically adds a standard description.

I ran into the same issue and found a workaround by setting up a project template. When creating a new project, you can use a pre-configured template that includes a default description. This way, every project starts with the same content automatically. If you're also working on product descriptions for e-commerce, https://silkplm.com/generated-description-tools-for-e-commerce/ might be useful for automating that process efficiently.
