I am trying to automate the creation of Jira Cloud projects where each project's board contains multiple columns, and each column has exactly three statuses. I want to achieve this using Jira's REST API or with any other automation steps without relying on any external add-ons. What I need Help with: * Is there any way to automate board column configuration (assigning statuses to columns) via API in Jira Cloud? * Can this be done without using external marketplace add-ons? * Are there any workarounds or alternative approaches to achieve this automation? Thanks in advance.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Hi @Deepak Rai

When I last checked, there was no REST API support for configuring a board, only to create a new board. Here is the suggestion to add such configuration capability: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-20535
