            I think, it would be ok, to be able to add an existing job to an existing view.

            Actually this can be done like follows:
            wget --post-data='name=ViewX&JobX=on&json=

            {"name": "ViewX", "JobX": true}

            ' http://.../jenkins/view/ViewX/configSubmit

            But the problem is, that all other options are deleted (other assigned jobs, columns etc.).

            I suggest to fix this and leave unspecified options unchanged.
            Additionally the necessity to specify all options twice (see JENKINS-8927) should be removed.

            Found out how to achieve this: Instead of using /jenkins/createItem (as mentioned in the documentation), one can simply post a new job to /jenkins/view/myViewName/createItem (where myViewName is an existing view). Or in detail:

            wget --post-file=config.xml --header='Content-type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1' http://.../jenkins/view/myViewName/createItem?name=newJobName

            Maybe this should be mentioned in the small Remote API Documentation reachable at /jenkins/api/ in every Jenkins installation, as it seems to work perfekt without any side effects.

            I think this could be closed. May I?

            This feature was implemented (fixed) and working, then unfortunately regression was introduced in 2.x see also: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-41128
