Is there a way to make a rule to remove all attachments. (Not links, actual attachments)

[Sam Whitehead]

I'm just looking to have either a rule in place that automatically removes all attachments when a card is added to a list, or even a board button I can use to remove all attachments from cards in a specific list.

I've looked for this before and you get an answer that you can do this with Butler, without any proof that you actually can. I do not see the option to remove all attachments. I see where you can automatically remove a link, but not the actual attachment on the card. (Like a pdf file for instance)

Am I just overlooking something?

I did some digging and came across this post where someone asked the same question. Hopefully this solution helps you!

I appreciate the response, but unfortunately that will not work. There might be cards with one attachment, there might be some with 6 attachments. Creating a bunch of custom fields on top of the custom fields we already have on our cards that we use (dates, dropdown menus, etc.) would be a huge mess. :(

Yeah, I read through it and wasn't sure if it'd be helpful. The Atlassian team member  who responded on that post mentioned that this was a feature request in their backlog, but didn't provide a link to it. Perhaps you could comment on that post and asking for an update on that request?

@Sam Whitehead , here's an automation rule you can create that you can manually run from a work item to delete all attachments contained on that work item:

@Gary Spross I apologize, I don't know what you mean by work item. That screenshot almost reminds me of Microsoft Workflows? I was talking about creating a rule under the Automation part of Trello.

My bad... I had Jira on the brain.
