Create a request type via API

Question

I have a number of projects where I need to create the same request type on each of them; rather than going through each one manually, is there a way to use the REST API to create the request type? I'll then be able to iterate through projects and do it automatically.

I've had a look at the REST API documentation and couldn't find anything related to creating Request Types, so was hoping I'd just missed it.

Hi @Anthony Norwood ,

currently this is not possible. There have been apps to implement this use case on Server/DC, but as of now, the needed API is not available in Cloud.

Kind regards,
Kai

@Kai Becker is correct that is not available in the cloud product.  You can learn more about the API here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/service-desk/rest/api-group-requesttype/#api-group-requesttype
