I would like ArcGIS Pro to allow the "Create new folder for this project" box to be unchecked when creating a new project from a custom project template.

Currently, the "Create a new folder for this project" box is checked and greyed out when creating a new project from a custom template. 

This is a problem for us as our organisational standards have this unticked by default, meaning that if we implement project templates, any projects using these will end up with a different folder structure.

Screenshot from training video showing the box greyed out and therefore it is unable to be unchecked.Screenshot from training video showing the box greyed out and therefore it is unable to be unchecked.

This idea was originally raised as a comment on this training video.

This used to be possible until the upgrade to 3.1. Me and others in my department unchecked the box for every new project over the last 2 years, but it stopped working recently.

This has always been possible, now it's been broken for no good reason and we get to vote to please get this basic functionality back? Interesting...
