Create URL for Team Managed Project - PID

[Tami Blake]

I would like to create a "Create Issue" URL for a team-managed project but I can't find the PID in the usual way by hoovering over the Project name in settings. The URL that pops up just shows the Key rather than the PID. Can I do this for this type of project and how do I find the PID or is there another way to do this.

Hello @Tami Blake 

I'm not sure about making a "Create Issue" URL for a TM project, but to get the project id for the project you can use the REST API call for getting data about a project:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-projects/#api-rest-api-3-project-projectidorkey-get

Example:

https://<yourBaseUrl>/rest/api/3/project/<yourProjectKey>

Replace the <yourBaseUrl> and <yourProjectKey> with the right data and paste the URL into a browser tab. You can find the project id in the output returned.

Wow - that did the trick! Thanks Trudy. I was able to build the URL and it worked perfectly.

As an aside I have never used Team-Managed projects before so after I posted this question, I also figured out that that type of project allows me to create a form which has a built-in functionality to share via URL. So now I have two ways to give requestors shortcuts. Thanks for your quick response.
