Create project

Create a new project in your Dovetail workspace. Projects are the primary container for organizing research — they hold data, docs, highlights, tags, and insights.

Optionally provide a template_id to create the project from an existing workspace template. The new project will inherit the template's fields, views, tags, and other structural elements. Retrieve available templates using the List project templates (GET /v1/projects/templates) endpoint.

Optionally provide a folder_id to create the project inside an existing folder. If omitted, the project is created at the workspace root level.

Returns the newly created project object.

Permissions

Please check you have the relevant permissions required to access this resource. This may include specific permissions on the object itself or its parent, or having the correct user role if you're making updates.
