Creating New Jira Project from Configuraton Manager Snapshots

Question

I am looking for a way to create a new project from snapshots in Configuration Manager in Jira Data Center using API calls. With https://jira/rest/configuration-manager/1.0/snapshots, I get all the snapshots I have in the instance from which I can deploy a new project manually via the UI. I want to perform this process via API calls, where I will select the snapshot from which to create the new project and where I will enter the name and project key for the new project.

Hi Kelsey

I have tried to go step  by step but getting errors at the end

{    "id": 3,    "status": "failed",    "message": "Unable to apply change 'type: addition, object: JiraConfigurationRoot#root/JiraProject#TESTINGMARKO:projects, target object: JiraConfigurationRoot#root, feature: projects'"}

we have snapshots in our instance and we are deploying new projects manual 
and we want to do it automatically via API-s or something else

Hi @Marko Turic - I'm not sure if you have seen this already, but here is the documentation for using REST API calls with CMJ:

https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CMJ/pages/197955929/REST+API+Configuration+Manager

Take a look there and see if that helps you accomplish your goal. If you have any questions, I recommend reaching out to our support team here: https://appfire.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/11

Thanks for using CMJ, and good luck!
