Problem Definition

Jira Server REST API should allow to expand issueType in /rest/api/2/project endpoint

Suggested Solution

It would be great if the expand option on this REST call would allow 'issueType' to be listed here. Right now only "description,lead,url,projectKeys" can be expanded in this call.

Why this is important

Jira Cloud's REST call for this specific endpoint specifically allows for expand this option. See https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/#api-api-2-project-get for details.

This call can be very useful to quickly find both a listing of all projects as well as all the issue types that are available to each project.

Workaround

You can still find this information via REST using the GET /rest/api/2/project/{projectIdOrKey} endpoint. The problem is that you have to provide a specific project id or key for each project to find this. This makes it more tedious to find this information in Server, whereas in Cloud, you can find all this in a single call.
