Overview

This node creates a new project in Redmine using the Redmine API. It is useful for automating project creation workflows, such as setting up new projects with specific names, identifiers, descriptions, and configurations programmatically. For example, it can be used to create a project with custom fields, enable specific modules, and set project visibility and membership inheritance.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically create a new project in Redmine when a new client is onboarded.
  2. Set up projects with predefined modules and custom fields based on templates.

Properties

Name Meaning
Name The name of the project, required for project creation.
Identifier The identifier of the project used in URLs, required for project creation.
Additional Fields Optional additional fields for the project such as description, enabled modules, homepage, inheritance of members, public visibility, parent project ID, and custom fields.
Options Additional options such as impersonating a user by login, requiring an admin API key.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the created project.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include invalid or missing API key, insufficient permissions (especially when impersonating a user), and invalid project identifiers or names.
  • Error messages may indicate authentication failures, missing required fields, or API rate limits. Ensure the API key is valid and has admin rights if impersonation is used.
  • Check that required fields 'Name' and 'Identifier' are provided and correctly formatted.
