create Jira Project via API

[Michael Michael]

Hey,

i want to create a Jira-Projects out of an external system. I thought about the APIs that are provided with Jira but unfortunately there are no functions to set issuetype- and workflow schemes because it "would require to much user input" as mentioned here https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-17870

Did somebody already face the same problem and found a workaround?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Michael

When you try to use the remote APIs in anger you realise they fall short in many ways, and this is true of all the Atlassian apps... eg creating app links, creating fisheye repos and crucible projects. Therefore at some point I normally have to drop back to simulating a browser client, eg with http-builder or apache httpclient.

Your other option is to create a soap or REST endpoint module.

You must look for this groovy script, you can't translate it to java easy

How can we programatically set the following?

* Issue type scheme

* Field configuration scheme

* Issue Type Screen scheme

* Project Category

* Mail configuration

* Workflow Scheme

When creating a project (using the API).

I understand the challenges of setting the workflow via an API. However, Issue type scheme shouldn't pose such a challenge.

you ever figure this out? I'm also running into trouble with this. The project is created but issue types and screens are broken?
