Problem Definition

1. Currently, to create a Project from REST API, we will need to provide projectTemplateKey as per the example from JIRA 7.7.1 Create Project REST API:

   {
       "key": "EX",
       "name": "Example",
       "projectTypeKey": "business",
       "projectTemplateKey": "com.atlassian.jira-core-project-templates:jira-core-project-management",
       "description": "Example Project description",
       "lead": "Charlie",
       "url": "http://atlassian.com",
       "assigneeType": "PROJECT_LEAD",
       "avatarId": 10200,
       "issueSecurityScheme": 10001,
       "permissionScheme": 10011,
       "notificationScheme": 10021,
       "categoryId": 10120
   }
   

2. However, there is no REST API endpoint to retrieve the available projectTemplateKey from JIRA.

Suggested Solution

To have a REST API endpoint for us to retrieve the available projectTemplateKey from JIRA so that we can use the projectTemplateKey during the Project creation.

Workaround

The available projectTemplateKey is listed in JIRA API 7.1.0 Create Project - Atlassian Community.
