Jira API Create Project for Share settings with an existing project

[Ben Finn]

Hi,

I want to use the API for creating a Jira project but our company always creates projects with this feature: "Share settings with an existing project".

I don't see it in the API documentation: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-projects/#api-rest-api-3-project-post

Is this a feature? If not, can I just use the other parameters as a sufficient alternative? Is there any areas that it wont cover?

Hello @Ben Finn 

Currently there is no flag in the API equivalent to the Shared Configuration option in the UI. There's a change request for that here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-45929

Looking at the API it appears to have parameters for all the schemes that would be associated to a Company Managed project. If you use those then you would have the same net affect.
