Copy a board using API

[Anass]

Hello,

How can i copy an existing board using REST Api ?

[Oscar Triscon · Accepted solution]

You need to perform a POST request to /1/boards with a JSON payload similar to this:

{
  "name": "My copied board",
  "idBoardSource": "SOURCE_BOARD_ID"
}

where SOURCE_BOARD_ID is the id of the board you want to copy.

Perfect !

Thank you, i'll give it a try

Please find the below link for the copy of the board

/rest/greenhopper/1.0/rapidview/{source board id}/copy

Thanks Srinivas! I was able to copy the board. However, I still haven't found a way to rename it using the API. Do you know a way to do that too? Cheers!

do I need to pass on any data to API? For some reason I am getting a code 405. In theory it should work without any issues even without data (I assume that copied board are renamed upon copy, right?)

[SriniP [Bob Swift Atlassian Apps]]

No. These are not public API's

Hi Srinivas,

This code should do the trick for moving the board:

PUT - ... /rest/greenhopper/1.0/rapidviewconfig/boardLocation

{ 
"rapidViewId": Board_id, 
"locationType": "project",
"locationId": project_id
} 

Cheers

Please find the below link for the board re-name

/rest/greenhopper/1.0/rapidviewconfig/name

By passing Id & name.

Thanks! Is there a list of these functionalities somewhere, as they aren't on the official API page?

Hi Srinivas,

It would be great if you could help me out with two more things:

1. update a board's location using API
2. create quick filters using API

Much appreciated,

Menno
