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, the panel doesn't show it but the work item does record it, and not only through the API. The Workaround section on JRACLOUD-76004 is Atlassian's own, check the issue's History tab to see who uploaded the attachment.

That one has sat at Gathering Interest since February 2021, 146 votes and 67 watchers, so I wouldn't plan around the column arriving.

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.
