I want to add an attachment from JIRA server to every Task using post function

[Prashant Karakanagoudar]

Hi Team,

Can someone please help me to add an attachment using scripted post function?

I used the suggestion in below link and it looks like the attachment is getting deleted after the script execution, how can I ensure the script does not delete the file from the location.

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Is-there-a-way-to-add-an-attachment-with-automation-on-Subtask/qaq-p/467766

def attachmentManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager()
def pathManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentPathManager()
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()?.getLoggedInUser()

def bean = new CreateAttachmentParamsBean.Builder()
.file(new File("/appl/jira_shared/test.txt"))
.filename("text.txt")
.contentType("plain/txt")
.author(user)
.issue(issue)
.build()
attachmentManager.createAttachment(bean)

Regards,

Prashant

Hi Prashant,

Can you try the following code and see if it works.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.AttachmentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.attachment.CreateAttachmentParamsBean

def attachmentManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager()
def pathManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentPathManager()
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()?.getLoggedInUser()

def bean = new CreateAttachmentParamsBean.Builder()
.file(new File("/appl/jira_shared/test.txt"))
.filename("text.txt")
.contentType("plain/txt")
.author(user)
.issue(issue)
.copySourceFile(true)
.build()

attachmentManager.createAttachment(bean)

You may refer to https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/8.5.5/com/atlassian/jira/issue/attachment/CreateAttachmentParamsBean.html for more details on CreateAttachmentParamsBean.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Moga

Hi Moga,

Thanks a lot for your inputs here.

It worked. :-) 

Changes the copySourceFile with Boolean value instead of a string.

.copySourceFile(true)
