## Current Behavior Creating new workspaces since Nx 20.6.0 will generate the Nx configuration in `package.json` files. This is intended, given that it is part of the new setup using TypeScript Project References and Package Manager Workspaces, but there's no way to choose to generate the Nx configuration in `project.json` files. Project generators do allow to choose but there's no way to do it when creating a new workspace. This forces users who want to use `project.json` files to generate an empty workspace and then use a project generator. ## Expected Behavior When creating a new Nx workspace, users can provide an option (`--use-project-json`) to generate the Nx configuration in `project.json` files. ## Related Issue(s) Fixes #30464
