How to bulk create projects in JIRA Cloud

Question

Hi there,

We should create lots of projects in JIRA Cloud to cover our recent workload, but it takes too long if we need to do this one by one.

Is there a way to upload projects from a template using a CSV file, or something like that?

Many thanks in advance.

And specific to CSV, you can use this action: https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/JCLI/Reference#Reference-runFromCsv as a front end for https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/JCLI/Reference#Reference-createProject. Another reference is https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/JCLI/How+to+use+runFromCsv.

For JIRA Cloud take a look at https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.jira.cli - it's probably your best option for a manual approach. For non-server (we haven't been able to port it to JIRA Cloud yet) take a look at https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.wittified.jira.project-creator
