New projects do not have the expected project-level Comment or Confirm Identity settings in Empower 3.8.0 - WKB265525

Article number: 265525

SYMPTOMS

Newly created projects do not have the expected Comment and Confirm Identify settings
New projects are instead set to Comment = Silent and Confirm Identity = False

This behavior is documented as CRI-6115 against Empower 3.8.0.

Disable the setting "Don't allow user to change default 'Require User Comments On' settings" on the New Project tab in System Policies and implement a procedural control on new project creation, advising users not to change the new project default settings.
Clone from a project known to have the expected project-level Comment and Confirm Identity settings, because cloning is not affected by this behavior.
