Creating a project in a script

This is an example of creating a project and project tasks using a script.

Script with PublicAPI

Note
Documentation on PublicAPI is available here
Attention
The script below is relevant for ELMA up to 3.12.1 inclusive.
var metadata = PublicAPI.Projects.Objects.ProjectMetadataHead.LoadOrNull(1); //ProjectWork type project metadata
var currentUser = PublicAPI.Portal.Security.User.GetCurrentUser(); //Current user
var project = PublicAPI.Projects.Project.Create("Project name", metadata, DateTime.Today, DateTime.Today.AddDays(30), currentUser);
 
var projectplan = PublicAPI.Projects.ProjectPlan.Filter().Project(project).Find().FirstOrDefault();
 
var projectTask = PublicAPI.Projects.ProjectTaskBase.ProjectTask.Create(project)
    .Subject("Task subject")
    .StartDate(DateTime.Today)
    .EndDate(DateTime.Today.AddDays(1))
    .Executor(currentUser)
    .AddToPlan(projectplan); //Creating a project task
var milestone = PublicAPI.Projects.ProjectTaskBase.Milestone.Create(project)
    .Subject("Milestone Subject")
    .StartDate(DateTime.Today)
    .Executor(currentUser)
    .AddToPlan(projectplan); //Creating a project milestone
