Is there a way to copy a project in jira server using the Rest API

[Aaron Korb]

Hi there,

I am trying to clone a project on Jira by connecting to the REST API via a python file. I have looked all over the internet and I have not really found what I am looking for. I wondered if anyone here could lend a hand and tell me if it is even possible. ps. if it helps I do have the scriptrunner plugin for Jira. TIA!

I have put these on my website is a clear form:

Hi @Aaron Korb 

Why not write your own code using ScriptRunner for Jira and use custom REST End points?

Hi @Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_,

Thanx for replying. I am unfamiliar with RestEndpoints. Is there a good place to learn this information?

Also, I know script runner already has a built in "copy project" script

So I'm wondering if I can use that and just add these "RestEndpoints to this script?

You can actually call REST to clone with script runner
/rest/scriptrunner/latest/canned/com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.admin.CopyProject

{"FIELD_SOURCE_PROJECT":"SOUCE_PROJECT_KEY""FIELD_TARGET_PROJECT":"TARGET_PROJECT_KEY""FIELD_TARGET_PROJECT_NAME":"TARGET_PROJECT_NAME"    "canned-script":"com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.admin.CopyProject"}

[Aaron Korb]

Would that code inside Payload like this? 

Payload = json.dumps({

"FIELD_SOURCE_PROJECT":"SOUCE_PROJECT_KEY", 

"FIELD_TARGET_PROJECT":"TARGET_PROJECT_KEY", 

"FIELD_TARGET_PROJECT_NAME":"TARGET_PROJECT_NAME",    

"canned-script":"com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.admin.CopyProject"

)}

Because when I do this it tells me

"unrecognized field" \\\"FIELD_SOURCE_PROJECT\\\

[Kevin Dalton]

SOUCE_PROJECT_KEY is the project key you are copying

TARGET_PROJECT_KEY is the new project key
TARGET_PROJECT_NAME is the new project name

[Aaron Korb]

This ended up working!!!!!

Thank you @Kevin Dalton

Your Welcome

Can it be clarified what a "canned script" is just so I know what I'm using and how it's working

[Kevin Dalton]

That is part of the body as you can see in my example from the job we created

{"FIELD_SOURCE_PROJECT":"' + @ProjectCopy + '","FIELD_TARGET_PROJECT":"' + @newProjectKey + '","FIELD_TARGET_PROJECT_NAME":"' + @newProjectName +'","canned-script":"com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.admin.CopyProject"}
