I don't know about that, but the relevant attributes are (eg)

  for Main use ("stairwell_demo");

  for Exec_Dir use ".";

(some versions of GPS needed the .adb extension on the main, I think
this is fixed now).

Personally I would rather edit the project file with a text editor,
having seen some truly mangled results! Never tried the wizard ..
