Creating a Schema and Object types via a script in Assets

Question

Hi there,

I have some powershell scripts that create objects in various object types I have manually created in Assets.

Does anyone know if it is possible to create the schema and objecttypes and attributes via a script also?

Not sure if that is possible but curious if anyone has achieved this (ideally with powershell)

Thanks.

Hey,

Yeh I was having a look at that and it does what I need it to but you have to manually feed information back into it.

What I was trying to achieve is a way to create the schema, then pass that to the create objecttype command and then when creating attributes pass the objecttype if possible.

I think I may be way off on a tangent with what I am trying to achieve here, just attempting to automate the whole process basically.. but the getting back info part is eluding me.

Hi @Ste404

I'm not familiar with powershell, but according to the documentation, it is possible to create objectTypes via API. https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/assets/rest/api-group-objecttype/#api-objecttype-create-post

It is also possible to create new schemas via API: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/assets/rest/api-group-objectschema/#api-objectschema-create-post

Hopefully these will help you get started, but as you've already have the setup for objects, the difference shouldn't be to hard.
