Project Creation - Any way to automate? (JIRA Cloud)

[Luis Zuniga]

Hi,

I create a lot of new projects for our dev teams using the JIRA gui.

Is there a way to automate the creation of a project using an API, csv or command line tool?

Even just selecting group permissions without having to type them would be a plus.

Thanks all,

Luis

Hi @Luis Zuniga,

You can try JIRA command line interface. 

Sample action : 

--action createProject  --project "ZCLICLONES"  --lead "automation"  --template "Basic"  --issueTypeScheme "Default Issue Type Scheme"  --issueTypeScreenScheme "Default Issue Type Screen Scheme"  --permissionScheme "Default Permission Scheme"

More examples here : https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JCLI/pages/6684682/Examples

Thanks,

@Luis Zuniga, welcome to the Community. I haven't attempted this but found this article that might be useful - https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/creating-a-project-template/

Thanks!

Looks like a fair amount of work to set this up...and might not still not be an ideal solution for me as every project is always different and using templates might not fit our workflow...but thanks!
