What is size limitation for Attachments in Jira Cloud posted by API

[Daniel Joskovski]

I want to attach files bigger then 150 mb by using Jira API, how is that possible?

Hi @Daniel Joskovski 

Can you verify the attachment size configured in your instance?

If you do it manually, how big can the file be?

There shouldnt be a 10mb limit. Check the docs if you have anything missing.

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-attachments/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-attachments-post

Searching for clues, I saw they added code to manage the chunks. cant find it again.

Maybe that's the problem?

Hi @Daniel Joskovski 

You can use /rest/api/3/attachment/meta endpoint to get the limit configured for you jira instance.

You can configure max size from in JIRA settings.  https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-file-attachments/

I read somewhere that Size limit for attachment posted by Jira API, cannot be changed, from 10mb. From UI you can attach bigger files but not with API

Hi @dan 

The 10mb limit is for server/DC (the default value). Jira cloud should be 1gb default.

1. In Attachment Size, specify the maximum attachment size. The default (per file) is 1 GB. The maximum attachment size (per file) is 2 GB.

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-file-attachments/

Check the attachment limit set on your instance.

It's indeed for DC/Server, make sure to read Cloud related kb.

Thank you, you both point to same link, but this is known. I am asking for Attachment Size when issue is created by using Agile rest API, not by using UI. For example, 

public async Task UploadAttachmentAsync(string issueKey, string filePath)
{
using var client = CreateJiraClient();

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Atlassian-Token", "no-check");

using var form = new MultipartFormDataContent();
using var fileStream = File.OpenRead(filePath);

var fileContent = new StreamContent(fileStream);
fileContent.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");

form.Add(fileContent, "file", Path.GetFileName(filePath));

var response = await client.PostAsync(
$"/rest/api/3/issue/{issueKey}/attachments",
form);

response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
}

I hit limit of 10MB per attachment, is that documented somewhere

So the error you have is 413 request entity too large ?

[Daniel Joskovski]

Yes

And configured is 1GB per attachment, so I am searching for link where this is documented

[Florian Bonniec]

If your file is less than 1GB and total amount of attachment is less than the storage limit of you plan and you have the proper permission to upload attachments, I invite you to raise a request to Atlassian support.

If you do it through the UI for that issue, do you have an error as well ?
