Create Project

UiPath.Jira.Activities.CreateProject

The Create Project activity uses the Jira API to create a new project (Project).

The activity outputs a project object (Project) that can be used as an input variable in subsequent activities (e.g., Project in Update Project]).

3. Add the Create Project activity inside the Jira Scope activity.
4. Create and enter a String and a Project Key variable for the Input properties.
5. Create and enter a JiraUser and a Project Lead variable for the Input properties.
6. Create and enter a String and a Project Name variable for the Input properties.
7. Select a ProjectTemplateKey from the Project Template Key drop down list for the Input properties.
