Determine JIra Project Template Key via REST API

[Wesley Gibbs]

I'm already able, via Jira REST API, to determine if the project is "software" based.  How do I take this a step further, via Jira REST API to determine which of the following "software development" types that my Jira project is classified as:

• Scrum software development
• Kanban software development
• Basic software development

FYI: I'm aware that the above "software types" equate to using the following templates behind the scenes:

• com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-scrum-template
• com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-kanban-template
• com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:basic-software-development-template

Jira doesn't record the templates - they're only used while creating a project and aren't of any use after that because an admin can (and often does) reconfigure the project away from the template.

What you are saying makes sense.  Just to verify, if I were to log into backend Jira database instance, your saying I wouldn't see any of those 3 software-types/templates relating back to any of the defined Jira projects?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Yes.  The project table has "type", which is the Software/Business/Service Desk you've already found, but no template key.
