One of our customers wanted to update the Task and Issue prefix id the same as the Project prefix id for all the projects. The same was implemented using Project custom function along with Workflow rules.

Custom function code:-

params = Map();
params.put("taskbugprefix",prefix);
updateProject = invokeurl
[
type: POST
parameters: params
connection: "XXXXXXX"
];
return updateProject ;
 
Notes
Make sure to replace XXXXXXX with the Zoho Projects connection link name with scope ZohoProjects.projects.UPDATE. Check this link to learn how to create the connection. 

Also, a screenshot of the sample Project workflow rules along with arguments to be mapped is attached for reference.
