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!
