How to Display attachment uploader/author in the issue attachment list view

Sunil_Bhadauriya
July 29, 2026

Currently, the attachment panel on a Jira Cloud issue (both list view and strip view) only shows: file name, size, date added, and action icons (download/delete).

There is no way to see who uploaded an attachment without using the REST API.

Why this matters:

  • In collaborative issues with multiple contributors, knowing who uploaded a file provides critical context

  • It helps identify the right person to ask questions about the attachment

  • It's basic metadata that already exists in the system but is hidden from the UI

Request: Add an "Uploaded by" column (or tooltip) showing the attachment author in the issue attachment panel.

Hi @Sunil_Bhadauriya

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Atlassian already has an open feature request covering this functionality:

JRACLOUD-76004 – Display author in the attachment list in the new view

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-76004

I'd recommend voting for and watching the suggestion, as Atlassian uses customer interest to help prioritize enhancements.
