    Hi ​@adrianO, I was recently able to successfully convert an Issue (optask) to a Project using the Workfront API in Postman. Here’s what worked for me:

    • Set your HTTP method to PUT.
    • Use the following endpoint format:
      https://<yourDomain>.my.workfront.com/attask/api/v17.0/optask/<ISSUE_ID>?action=convertToProject
      Replace <yourDomain> with your Workfront domain and <ISSUE_ID> with the actual Issue ID.
    • Set the header Content-Type to application/json.
    • Add authentication as required, e.g., apiKey or sessionID.
    • In the request body (raw, JSON), include:
      {
      "project": {
      "name": "Your New Project Name"
      }
      }
      You can add more fields inside the "project" object if needed.
    • Send the request.

    If everything is set up correctly, the Issue will be converted to a Project, and you’ll receive the new project details in the response.

    adrian, the API goes up to v21.0 now, simply change v17.0 to be v21.0 and try to run the query again, it should work.
