Is it possible to create multiple projects at once?

I need to create about 150 projects. I know the names of the projects and the 12 epics that each one should contain. Is there a way to do this?

Hi @Cliff Stovich

As what @[deleted]suggested, there isn't a way to do this via UI or out-of-the-box. However, you can achieve it using a different method with varying levels of complexity.

If you're technical, you can do this for free using what was suggested by @[deleted], using the Create Project POST command.
- The Jira Cloud platform REST API (atlassian.com)
If you don't want to do that, you can do a trial of Appfire's JCLI (Jira command line interface). Arguably it is also a technical approach, but the barrier to entry is lower than using REST API.
- Jira Command Line Interface (CLI) | Atlassian Marketplace
- Create Jira projects in bulk using Jira Command Line Interface (CLI) - One Appfire Support Knowledge Base - Appfire (atlassian.net)

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Francis

Hello @Cliff Stovich

Is there a way to do this?

Yes, but not via the GUI. You will need to learn how to interact with the REST API

These were all good answers but since I have a csv builder macro I already made I decided to import from csv to create my new projects. Here's a link on the solution I followed:

Turns out you can define a new project in a csv and then when you upload to Jira, if there's no matching project, it will create a new project for you. Took a little trial and error but I got it to work in about 1/2 a day.
