Thanks a lot Ravi.

I am able to create the Scrum project using Jira rest api.

I have 1 more query

One of my Jira instance version is 6.4.10 . In that instance from JIRA UI its not giving the option to create business type project .

Do I need to add any plugin or and configuration setting is required ? Please let me know

Hi Varsha Kumari,

Please note that projectType has been introduced from JIRA 7.x.  You should not be looking for that feature in JIRA 6.x

Typical installation for JIRA 6.x has the following three options (Refer below image) and they are organized differently  when compared to JIRA 7.x.  Please note that this is JIRA native feature and does not entail installing/configuring any plugins

Refer Atlassian Documentation - https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/jira-applications-and-project-types-overview-802592214.html

Hope this answers your query.

Regards,

I used the below and getting the error

"projectTypeKey": "Scrum",
"projectTemplateKey": "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-scrum-template",

{
"errorMessages": [
"An invalid project type was specified. Make sure the project type is available in your JIRA instance. Please talk to your JIRA administrator if you need more help.",
"An invalid project template was specified. Make sure the project template matches the project type you specified."
],
"errors": {}
}

Jira version : 7.1.9

From Jira UI while creating the project its giving the option to create Scrum type project.

But with rest api giving error
