In the UI, there’s an option to convert a task to a project. Is there a way to do the same through the API? Currently, my workflow is to duplicate a task with a long list of subtasks, make some updates to the subtasks, then I need to convert the task to a project. I don’t see this option in the API docs. Is this possible?
Hi @Heather_Cherewaty and welcome to the forum!
Sorry, there’s no API endpoint that does this. Of course you could write a routine using the API to replicate the same behavior via multiple API calls, but there’s no direct equivalent to that UI operation.

I agree with Phil, not that hard to code 
Thank you, Phil!

Hi @noah-mh and welcome to the forum,
I’ve merged your post with an existing thread on this topic. While this is from 2020, the answer is still the same - you’d need to code it yourself.

Hi @noah-mh and welcome 
As mentioned above, API doesn’t offer a direct “convert to project” endpoint. The suggested approach is to create a project and then apply the necessary structure and data.
Just wanted to add that if your projects follow a consistent pattern, I highly recommend using project templates to standardize the setup. You can instantiate a project from a template via the API, then populate any task-specific details if necessary.
