Clone Existing Project in Workfront Using Fusion

[Donna_Boj]

Hello,

I am hoping this will be a simple one and someone can help.

I need to copy an existing Project using Fusion but not sure which module is best to use.
I will have a Typehead field that holds the Project name, so I should be able to get the ID from there using a Parse JSON module.

Hope someone can help, thanks in advance!

Hi @Sbhuta ,
Try to pass this in body it works for me ...
In my scenario name of the project should be modified by adding info at the end and status as Active.
