Hi! I've a problem with changejira project's workflow via REST API.
I have a jira version 6.3.8
I tried to use this manual - https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/6.3.8/
Maybe there is some hidden not documented API?
How can i do this?
Thanks.
Hi,
I've never heard of a REST API to change a project's workflow scheme.
Why do you want to do that?
Hi!
We often creating JIRA projects (for customers) and always change default WF to our custom WF scheme. So.. I just want to automate it.
Using REST APIs the best you can do it to change the status of an issue i.e. do a workflow transition for a issue, but you can't change jira project's workflow to another workflow this isn't possible using REST API.
Programmatically this can be done - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/how-to-programatically-change-a-project-s-workflow-in-Jira/qaq-p/474694
Why don't you create a template-project and then create the new project with shared configuration?
Changing a workflow requires JIRA to do a whole swathe of integrity checks that can often lead to a load of questions needing to go back to the user.
A REST interface for that would be hideously complex and barely ever used, so Atlassian have not written one.
The answer for your usage really is what Thomas said - use a shared configuration.
Link fails. Do you have an example you can show me or even another link that isn't dead that I could look at? I have had little success in finding non-prohibitively complex solutions to this problem.
To look a little closer at that question/searching around, this looks like it is an answer for if you have access to the Java API. In my case, this will not work because I don't. I'll need to do something if possible via the REST API.
I guess I could try to make a plugin that can do that, but I'm hoping to not have to go that deep just for this situation.
