Provision app should support different (jira/confluence) project types about ods-provisioning-app

reopen - #49 was just a backend fix to externalize config into property file

• that should be good enough ... or ... ?

@michaelsauter @tjaeschke - thoughts?

[tjaeschke]

@clemensutschig Depends. If you only want to change between Software and Business, this is good enough. If you want to add custom blueprints, you have to utilize the REST API, get the template with the specified fields, if possible and adjust the available fields in the provisioning app automatically.

[clemensutschig]

@tjaeschke - no special fields please .. but I hear we need a way to pass template keys - yes?

[tjaeschke]

I think so. I've been asked about it a few times, if this is possible.

[clemensutschig]

OK . for now we leave as is ... (globally configurable via app properties).

In case needed - community can upvote :)

My glorious idea with converting a Project after creation does not work.. templates are only used at jira Project creation not on Conversion - so you dont get screen schemes,fields etc so we need to come up with a plan.

I Played with spring list Properties- does Not work either.

Current thought - allow People to configure mappings of Key and Template in App Properties and add new flag to Projectdata pojo. Verify on receive Key exists..

@michaelsauter @tjaeschke -thoughts?

@clemensutschig If I understand the problem/solution correctly, it sounds good to me ...

[clemensutschig]

this is how it looks like.

Config` happens in application.properties

add your own ones here - is what you can pass as projectType after adding it to
`
project.template.key.names=default,

jira.project.template.key.=com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-scrum-template
jira.project.template.type.=software
`
