Error when creating new project cloned from another

When trying to create a new project which is cloned from an existing one, I get the following error...



   The following error was encountered, press BACK to correct.

   [0]Default Value for Date Created is missing but is required, please re-try.



But when I press BACK to correct, I do not see any Date Created field I have no idea where this Date Created field exists, so I dont know where to go to give it a default value.

    We have the same problem on our site.

    [0]Default Value for Date Created is missing but is required, please re-try.



    We get the error no matter if we check or uncheck the options below:

















     Copy Folder Structure?:

     Copy Choice Lists?:

     Copy Custom Fields?:

    The solution was to create the new project without cloning, and then use the Sync Project System feature.



    Go into Setup|System Configuration|Sync Project System Options, and sync the project: http://screencast.com/t/X4aCnt1iZ



    This should take care of custom fields and choice lists, but folder structure and data are project specific and not included - just as with the "Project to Copy from" feature.



    If you need to, you can copy folder structure from project to project (or from tab to tab) by right-clicking on the existing folder structure, select Copy Folder Structure.
