To be able to copy a coordinate system to a project, the project has to be open. You can only copy coordinate systems to the project which are not attached already.

In the Properties window you are shown the properties of any selected item, be that a coordinate system, a transformation, an ellipsoid, a projection, a geoid model or a CSCS model.

Some properties are editable. Confirm any changes with Apply.
