We use Jira for various compliance related needs, and we've found Jira to be a very powerful tool with its custom issue types, custom fields, and custom a workflows that use custom statuses.

As a Jira admin, I'd like to repeat our customizations to another Jira instance with a script, but at the moment, the Jira REST API doesn't seem to cover what we need.

Please extend the Jira REST API so that it can be used for automating such customizations:

• A REST API for creating a new status (or ensuring that a status with a certain name exists)
• A REST API for importing a workflow
• A REST API for creating a field configuration
• A REST API for creating a screen
