Automate Your Project Creation in Jira - malikovalibek/groovyForJira GitHub Wiki

Overview One of the most common tasks for Jira Administrators is project creation. This script works similarly to the ‘Create an issue in Jira’ script, allowing you to automate the creation of projects. For example, project creation can be added as a workflow post function, a REST Endpoint, or triggered by a listener.

Example I set up a new space in Confluence for each new project. I want to save time so Jira automatically creates a project when I set up a new confluence space. I add a listener to trigger this script, creating a project when a new space is set up in Confluence.

Good to Know You can edit this script to create a project with the name of the confluence space set up. You can do this by embedding this snippet in a Jira REST Endpoint and using ScriptRunner for Confluence to trigger a request after a space is created. You can then add the space name as a param.

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

projectService.createProject(projectValidationResult)
