$endpoint.post("~/api/projects?clone=" + $OriginalProject.Id, $newproject)

FYI

If you run the above script and get the following error: Cannot find an overload for "post" and the argument count: "2"., you can add $null to the call to .post (e.g. $endpoint.post("~/api/projects?clone=" + $OriginalProject.Id, $newproject, $null))

According to octopus : "Octopus.Platform.dll was removed as part of 3.0 and all that functionality has been moved into its own package."
