Rest API for creating new project using template as an existing project

[prajakta.b.kulkarni]

We are looking for an option using Rest API for creating new project using template as an existing project.

We want workflows and permission schemes, etc as default to new project.

We are using Jira Cloud so Kindly suggest if this is possible.

Hello @prajakta.b.kulkarni

Based on the REST API Documentation

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/?utm_source=%2Fcloud%2Fjira%2Fplatform%2Frest%2F&utm_medium=302#api-api-3-project-post

You can create a project in jira cloud based on the pre-built templates as mentioned in the above link.

You can use the permission scheme, issueType scheme etc base don the existing project. But currently in the REST API, there is no provision to mention an existing project which can be used as an template. But you can easily re-use the various schemes IDs in your REST call while creating the project.
