I am trying to Automate A project creation using the a Script

Question

Hello,

I have enabled a post function to run a script get value from Custom Fields and create project automatically.

Script :-

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectCreationData
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.project.AssigneeTypes
import com.atlassian.jira.project.type.ProjectTypeKey
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level

def logg = Logger.getLogger("com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.ScriptRunnerImpl")
logg.setLevel(Level.INFO)

// the key for the new project from custom field
def projectKey = "Project Key"
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def projectKeyV = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName(projectKey)
def getKeyV = issue.getCustomFieldValue(projectKeyV)
log.info("The Key is" + getKeyV )

// the name of the new project
def projectName = "Project Name"
def projectNameV = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName(projectName)
def getNameV = issue.getCustomFieldValue(projectNameV)
log.info("The Key is" + getNameV )

def projectService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectService)
def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

// available project type keys: business | software | service_desk
def projectTypeKey = new ProjectTypeKey("software")

def creationData = new ProjectCreationData.Builder().with {
withName(getNameV)
withKey(getKeyV)
withLead(loggedInUser)
withUrl(null)
withAssigneeType(AssigneeTypes.PROJECT_LEAD)
withType(projectTypeKey)
}.build()

final ProjectService.CreateProjectValidationResult projectValidationResult = projectService.validateCreateProject(loggedInUser, creationData)
assert projectValidationResult.isValid() : projectValidationResult.errorCollection

projectService.createProject(projectValidationResult)

I am getting an error when I am running this script

Error:-

Hi,

Similar to it yes, you would want to use the following 2 instead:

Validation based on "fromExistingProject":

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/8.5.8/com/atlassian/jira/bc/project/ProjectCreationData.Builder.html#fromExistingProject-com.atlassian.jira.project.Project-com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectCreationData-

And then get a CreateProjectValidationResult from the "based on existing project" method:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/8.5.8/com/atlassian/jira/bc/project/ProjectService.html#validateCreateProjectBasedOnExistingProject-com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser-java.lang.Long-com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectCreationData-

This should get you the same result as if you went in the UI and used a "Create project based on existing template" feature.

However I must say I'm not familiar with Cloud or whether above is valid there (it is on Server), I did not verify nor have tried this with Cloud, I was however able to get this to work on Server in one of my assignments.

Note - creating based on existing project does what the UI does (from my experience, and again on Server). You still have to figure out how you want to handle project role actors and custom field contexts, but the above will get you a working project with the same schemes as the source project.
