https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/work/plans/create?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0
POST https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/work/plans?api-version=6.0
and I am sending following data in the request body properties
{
"properties": {

}
However Styling rules are not getting created in the project.

Answer 1

Got this done by using Update for the Delivery plan immediately after creating the same. Update it with same properties though you will have to add revision property to the request body.

Answer 2

Create Delivery Plan doesn't accept style settings, from the UI you can notice this:
Just get the plan id and the response from the Create API and then use them in the Update API, this is the only way.
