Why Kanban projects does not have issue type scheme?

Question

Hi Atlassian team,

I want to update the issue type schemes of some projects through the API,

first, to get the current schemes I call the API:

GET /rest/api/3/issuetypescheme/project?projectId=<projectId>.

When I query about the newly created Kanban board, I get there are no issue type schemes,

Is it by design?

What can I do if I want to add issue types for projects like Kanban through API?

Currently, I can get schemes only for bug tracking projects.

Thanks

Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- ,

Thanks for the quick reply!

It's indeed a team-managed project, if I can't use the API

/rest/api/3/issuetypescheme/project?projectId=<projectId>.

Is there an alternative API I can use? How can I update the issue type scheme, like I do with https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-type-schemes/#api-rest-api-3-issuetypescheme-issuetypeschemeid-put?

Or is it only possible manually?

Is your Kanban project a team-managed project?  (These don't have configuration schemes), and you'll need to read the create-meta or project settings directly.
