Hello @Ravi Kanth

How do you determine that the project is "unused"?

There is a REST API that you can use to archive a project.

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-projects/#api-rest-api-3-project-projectidorkey-archive-post

You could, theoretically, create an Automation rule that would determine if a project is unused and then use the Send Web Request action to execute the REST API endpoint to archive the project.

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/automate-your-jira-cloud-processes-and-workflows/

I have not tested this, so it is only a theory.

Have you considered the impact to boards, filters, and dashboards when projects are archived? Are you sure you want to archive projects automatically?

There's nothing I can find that can do that.

I suspect it's because you probably should be thinking before archiving.
