REST API for Creating Screen not working

[Tulika]

Hi,

I am trying to use the REST API to create a screen in Jira Data Center, as referenced in the API documentation.

However, when I attempt to call the API, I receive an HTTP 405 – Method Not Allowed error.

Has this API been removed or deprecated in recent versions of Jira Data Center? If so, could you please advise on the recommended alternative approach to create screens programmatically?
My Datacenter instance is v10.3.1

Regards

The POST /rest/api/2/screens endpoint for creating screens is a Jira Cloud-only REST API. It is not available in Jira Data Center, which is why you are receiving the 405 Method Not Allowed error.

The Data Center REST API only supports GET on /rest/api/2/screens (to retrieve/search screens), not POST.

I don't see an endpoint in the API documentation that supports creation of screens.

Hi @Trudy Claspill 

I was checking the REST API - POST /rest/api/2/screens

Unfortunately that is an API reference for the Jira Cloud app, not the Jira Data Center app .

The Jira Data Center API doesn't provide an endpoint for creating screens, based on the documentation link I provided.
