Subprojects created from template show up as the template file name when added to the master?
Row 1 (ID 1) is NOT the Project Summary Task. As I noted, and showed in my screen shot, the Project Summary Task is ID 0. While in the Gantt Chart view, go to, Gantt Chart Format > Show/Hide group > "Project Summary Task".
Once you have that set to the name you want in each subproject, that name will appear at the subproject summary line insertion point in the master.
This is a screen shot of a subproject I have. Note the file name is different than the Title (Project Summary Task).
This is what that subproject looks like in my master file.
Does that clarify it for you?

Thanks John-project and ineeju, So the project summary task in my Template (row 1) is generically called "Project Common Name".
When I create a new project from the template, I change this to something specific to the project I'm creating, like this;
And when I insert this project into my master project, the project summary task is labeled "Summary Template", as previously noted. Based on both of your comments, I would have expected the newly inserted sub-project summary task to display as the task name of WBS 1 for the sub-project, in the example above that would be "Sampling - District of Saanich...", am I misunderstanding something?
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks John-project, yes that clears it up, couldn't figure out how to get to line 0 🙂
- Joe,
You're more than welcome and thanks for the feedback.
