Run CLI Actions

Create Project From Template

This is similar to the example from How to create projects or sets of issues based on a template. In this case, you can save the template action for easy reuse.

--action run --common "--project ZJCLIP2 --dateFormat yyyy-MM-dd" --findReplace #duedate#:2016-05-01 --server %base_url% --password automation

--action createProject --lead automation

--action createIssue --type improvement --summary "Phase 1" --date #duedate# 
--action createIssue --parent @issue@ --type sub-task --summary "Task 1"  
--action createIssue --parent @issue@ --type sub-task --summary "Task 2"  

--action createIssue --type improvement --summary "Phase 2"  
--action createIssue --parent @issue@ --type sub-task --summary "Task 1" 
--action createIssue --parent @issue@ --type sub-task --summary "Task 2"
