      ‌Problem Definition

      Referring to the REST API Reference, the Create Project endpoint (POST /rest/api/3/project) currently requires the user to provide a Project Key.

      By not providing a Project Key in the Body Parameters, the REST call will fail, as the Project Key is required.

      "projectKey":"Project keys must start with an uppercase letter, followed by one or more uppercase alphanumeric characters."

      Suggested Solution

      If the REST call does not contain a Project Key, Jira should automatically generate one, similar to when creating a project through the UI.

      Why this is important

      This helps to make the Project Creation process more standardized. Through the UI, a project key will be automatically generated, however, through the REST endpoint, users will not have the same experience.
