{original-project-id}	Required path parameter. Specify the ID of the project that owns a given subject.
{subject-id} or {subject-label}	Required path parameter.
{shared-project-id}	Required path parameter. Specify the ID of the project that you intend a subject to be shared into. Logged-in user must have ownership permissions in the shared project.
label	Optional querystring parameter. Specify a new label for this subject that will be used in the shared project, if desired.

Share An Experiment Into A New Project

Sharing an experiment by itself has no effect if the subject that owns the experiment is not also shared.

PUT - /data/projects/{original-project-id}/subjects/{subject-id | subject-label}/experiments/{experiment-id | experiment-label}/projects/{shared-project-id}

Parameters

{original-project-id}	Required path parameter. Specify the ID of the project that owns a given subject.
{subject-id} or {subject-label}	Required path parameter.
{experiment-id} or {experiment-label}	Required path parameter.
{shared-project-id}	Required path parameter. Specify the ID of the project that you intend a subject to be shared into. Logged-in user must have ownership permissions in the shared project.
label	Optional querystring parameter. Specify a new label for this experiment that will be used in the shared project, if desired.

404	Project Not Found
409	Conflict Found – Attempting to share data into an object that already exists

Response Format

Returns the experiment accession ID as a string
