Copying project from Post Function

[Cary Watkins]

I am utilizing a request process in Jira Service Desk to generate new projects. Once the ticket is created, I would like to have a post function create the new project. I am thinking I can do this through post function or via the Automation App. Below are the steps I am trying to achieve. 

• Transition post function/trigger
• Upon transition, trigger script to Copy template project (ex. Project 1: Key "PRJ")
• Use Issue Key of trigger request (minus the '-') as the new Project Key
• Use the Summary of trigger request as Project Name. 

I am not sure if this is possible as this point but there is a clear need to allow project copies without giving the user admin rights. 

Please help get me pointed in the right direction...

Hi @Cary Watkins 

I think it's possible using a post function with a custom script. From ComponentAccessor class you can retrieve the ProjectManager object which contains createProject method. One of the parameters of that method is ProjectCreationData. You can build it using a nested class ProjectCreationData.Builder which allows to do it from the existing project.
