Autodesk platform API/BIM 360: How to Create Issue Subtypes and Custom Attributes via APIs in Autodesk?
09:05 03 Jul 2026

I’m working with Autodesk BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud (EU region) and need to automate the creation of Issue Types, Issue Subtypes, and Custom Attributes across multiple existing projects. Manually configuring these for each project is time‑consuming, so I’m looking for an API‑based approach to create in each project.

Is there any Autodesk API that allows creating:

Issue Types

Issue Subtypes

Custom Attribute Definitions

I’ve reviewed the Construction Issues API, but I can only find endpoints for retrieving existing types and attributes, not creating new ones.

Any guidance, documentation, or recommended workflow would be greatly appreciated.
