It is not necessary to create a Project, just avoid the second step of the automation rule

Create an automation rule

1. Configure trigger

Create a new trigger → When issue transitioned

2. Create a project

Generate a base64 authentication for the Jira user

Generate a string in base64 with the text "<JIRA_USER>:<JIRA_API_TOKEN>"

1. Use the terminal:

echo -n YOUR_JIRA_USER:YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN | base64

2. Store the result (something like this):

Configure action

Add component → New action → Send web request

• Web request URL: https://YOUR_INSTANCE.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project

• Headers:

  • Content-Type: application/json

  • Authorization: Basic c2VydmljZXRlYW2AZGVpc2VyLmNvbTpBTGN1bkwzNzQ1YTRBUFY3cXcwZkU3MkQ=-EXAMPLE  (The Authentication in Base64)

• HTTP method: POST

• Web request body: Custom data

• Custom data (ℹ️ Replace DUMMYAUTO for your project key)

  { "key": "DUMMYAUTO", "name": "Test dummy project autogenerated", "description": "Description for Test dummy project autogenerated", "leadAccountId": "{{issue.reporter.accountId}}", "url": "https://www.deiser.com", "assigneeType": "UNASSIGNED", "projectTemplateKey": "com.atlassian.jira-core-project-templates:jira-core-simplified-project-management" }

  
  

• Check: Delay execution of subsequent rule actions until we've received a response for this web request
  

3. Store the project ID in a variable

Add component → New action → Create variable

• Variable name: targetProjectId

• Smart value: {{webResponse.body.id}}
  

4. Get the authorization token

Add the steps “Get the Projectrak JWT” and then “Store the JWT in a variable“, described at this link: https://deiser-apps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROJECTRAKCLOUD/pages/1641490/How+to+create+a+Projectrak+authorization+in+Automation+for+Jira?src=search

5. Update the project fields with the issue fields

Add component → New action → Send web request

• Web request URL: https://profields-cloud.deiser.com/values/projects/{{targetProjectId}}

• Headers:

  • Content-Type: application/json

  • Authorization: Bearer {{projectrakJwt}} → defined in step 4

• HTTP method: POST

• Web request body: Custom data

• Custom data ( Replace for the Projectrak field ID key and the issue field)

  [ { "fieldId": 9754, "value": "{{issue.summary}}" }, { "fieldId": 9752, "value": "{{issue.description}}" } ]
