How to create project with shared Configuration via REST API

Sergio C Silva

Hi!

We need create JIRA projects via API, but we don't want create new schemes to each project created, we want create project using existing schemes.

We need to do via API the same happens when we use the option "Create With Shared Configuration" in create project screen.

Is that possible?

Hello Sergio,

I want the same, but this isn't possible today with the REST API. The only way I am aware of to do this programatically is with the Jira CLI addon https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JCLI/pages/266178329/Actions#Actions-createProject

Hi Sergio, I was looking for this too, and came across a solution on https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-27256. As Andry said there, you can use the endpoint:

/rest/project-templates/1.0/createshared/{projectId}

with the JSON:

{"key":"NEWPRJ","name":"Test Project created with shared configuration with TMPLPRJ","lead":"user1"}

where {projectId} is the ID of the project whose configuration you are using. Since this is not documented it is not a formally supported endpoint, but it worked for me. Hope that helps!

Hey Josh, if you're still looking for this I figured out a way to do it from the comments on https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-27256. See my other response below for more details!

Cool - I was only aware of the POST /rest/api/2/project endpoint which doesn't allow setting workflow scheme etc.

Time to automate

Thanks!

Hello Alex, I've been trying to use this endpoint but without success, can you confirm that it still works?

Hi Lucas,

Are you trying with the project key instead of the project ID in the endpoint?

The project key is what precedes the ticket number (such as JRASERVER in the above post) whereas the project ID is what you see when you try to delete a project and observe the five-digit number after pid= in the url.

Hello. I've been trying to use this endpoint as specified above on JIRA 7.3.6, using the ID number (not the project key) of properly configured project in the endpoint, and I've consistently received code 500 errors in the response, with a PostgreSQL exception complaining that the key I gave for the new project already exists:

Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "idx_project_key"
  Detail: Key (pkey)=(DDTPA) already exists.

This seems to occur no matter what key I use, and examining the JIRA instance afterwards, I can confirm that it did actually create a new project with that key, with the name and project lead I specified. Any tips on getting the correct response from this endpoint?
