Cannot create project scoped status

[Pokemon Blues]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the endpoint

https://<MY_DOMAIN>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/statuses

to bulk create some project specific status

Here are my projects:

{

"expand": "description,lead,issueTypes,url,projectKeys,permissions,insight",

"self": "https://<MY_DOMAIN>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project/10004",

"id": "10004",

"key": "TEST2",

"name": "Test2",

"projectTypeKey": "software",

"simplified": false,

"style": "classic",

"isPrivate": false,

"properties": {}

}

and when I try to use the API with this payload

{"scope": {"project": {"id": "10004"}, "type": "PROJECT"}, "statuses": [{"description": "This issue is being actively worked on at the moment by the assignee.", "name": "NewStatus", "statusCategory": "In Progress"}]}

I get this error:

{"errorMessages":["We couldn't find project 10004 in this scope."],"errors":{}}

I've upgraded from the free level to the standard level and setup project admin and project browsing for the org level admin, but no luck.

Any advice?

Hi @Pokemon Blues

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

In Jira there are two types of projects: team-managed (aka next-gen) and company-managed (aka classic) projects. You can learn more about them in the documentation.

In your project response, there's the information "style": "classic" which identifies your project as a company-managed project. Company-managed projects only support global statuses not project-specific ones. Therefore, you simply can't do that.

What you can do:

• Create global statuses
  Remove the project scope and add GLOBAL as type inside the scope as described in the docs.
• Use a team-managed project
  Create a new project which is a team-managed one and move any existing issues to the new one.

Hope that helps,
Matthias.

Thank you so much for this response.  I'll try it today and if it works, I'll accept your answer!  Thanks again!
