How to modify a Standard template site with Sharepoint management shell

Question

Hello

I need to create a new custom organization template from a site created with the standard project management template. I use a SharePoint shell and generate an organization template but when I use it to create a new site the changes are not passed through.

For this reason I am thinking of modifying the original project management template, adding 3 lists by script.

Is this possible? And how could I program with the SharePoint shell?

Thanks

Hi @Amagoia Cormenzana ,

Modifying a standard template site in SharePoint using the SharePoint Management Shell is not directly supported.

As a workaround, you can create a new custom organization template from a site created using a standard project management template, add 3 lists to it, and save it as a template.

When you save a site as a template, any lists and libraries, look and feel, and other objects such as calendars, etc., you have added are also saved, optionally with content.

Please refer to the following articles (The Save as Template feature is hidden by default.):
