Regarding convertToProject API

I am attempting to convert an existing issue into a project using the API. I tried making the following API call:
https://HOST_NAME/attask/api/issue/123456789/convertToProject?apiKey=1232323232&updates={"options":["preserveIssue","preservePrimaryContact"],"project":{"name":"Converted Project Name","templateID":""}}
The response I received was a 200k response with the following data:

"data": {
"ID": "123456789",
"name": "Issue Name",
"objCode": "OPTASK",
"plannedCompletionDate": "2023-09-13T18:00:00:000-0600",
"status": "NEW",
"primaryAssignment": null
}
However, I noticed that the project was not created in Workfront for the issue with ID 123456789.
I was actually expecting the API to convert the issue along with its custom form field values, attached documents, and all other details of the issue.

 

Thanks

Your call is incorrect.

URL: {your workfront api URL}/OPTASK/{issue ID}

Method: PUT

Query String: action=convertToProject

In the header, include apiKey

In the body, include this JSON:

{

  "project": {

    "name": {project name},

    "templateID": {template ID if desired

  },

  "options": [

    {any options you want to include}

  ]

}
