Summary
Advanced Roadmaps provides the ability to create teams to work on specific parts of a plan. If wanting to create teams using the Java API (via something like ScriptRunner) for example, how should the createTeam API be used?
Environment
Jira 8.20 and higher
Solution
The createTeam API accepts a TeamDescription object as input. So in order to create a new team via the Java API you must pass in a TeamDescription object. For example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
def newTeamDescription = new TeamDescription() {
@Override
public String getTitle() {
return teamName;
}
@Override
public Optional getAvatarUrl() {
return Optional.absent();
}
@Override
public boolean isShareable() {
return true;
}
}
teamService.createTeam(newTeamDescription)⚠️ Please note this is just a sample code, your implementation may differ some or require customization. This snippet is just meant to demonstrate the basic use of the createTeam function specifically. This code would need to be built into a larger script for meaningful results.
