Storing and Indexing JSON in JIRA Cloud

[Hugh Kelley]

Every new issue in our JIRA has a JSON document that is associated (details from the security alert that is associated with the issue).  Sizes are usually about 7 KB, but could be larger, depending on the details in the alert.

We currently attach this .json file to the issue at creation time (issues created via n8n workflow). 

Unfortunately,

1. this .json file is not indexed by JIRA, nor by any Marketplace apps we have yet found
2. the attachment is not always viewable in JIRA mobile app (some are too big?)
3. the attachment is never rendered as JSON (web or mobile), so it can be cumbersome to navigate.

Are there any suggestions as to how we can insert this JSON data into each issue in a way that doesn't clutter the issue's main tabs, is full-text indexed, and JSON-rendered when it is displayed (perhaps on an alternate tab)?

Hi @Hugh Kelley 

Looks like it's not possible. JSON or other files are not indexed by Jira cloud.

If you want, you can create a feature request here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/projects/JSWCLOUD/issues/JSWCLOUD-8507?filter=allopenissues

This is a stretch, but if you put the JSON in a doc. file? and use a 3rd party app to look into a doc file?
