Create new structure

Verified by Adaptavist

Overview

Automatically create and name an empty structure (from the Structure for Jira plugin).

Example

I want to create a structure to group some of my Jira projects without having to create it manually. Using this script, I can set it up from the Script Console. I can bulk create several structures or use it as part of a larger script.

Good to Know

The plugin works with Structure for Jira 4.1+.
The plugin does not create a structure if one with the same name already exists.
