Create a project

Hello,
I made a new version of VX.XX and I would like to create a specific project as a test name.

I wanted to create in the maintenance.php in a state file (if ($ currVersion <"VX.XX") ...) and I made a new project and I filled out the name, custid, idle , idUser, doneidProjectType, codeType, idstatus and finally I called the save function.

Only when I go to see if the project was created, I find not.

There is a field that I have not met that prevents its creation?
There is another way to create the project (always in coding)?

Ok Thanks
