Help me to add attachment automatically when issue has been created

Musku Nagaraju

Hi Team,

I have one file in my C drive, when Issue has been created in Project ABC, the file should be attach automatically.

 

I am using below code but not working as I expected.

 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.attachment.TemporaryWebAttachment
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.attachment.TemporaryWebAttachmentManager
import webwork.action.ActionContext

def attachmentManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager()

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()?.getUser()

def bean = new CreateAttachmentParamsBean.Builder()
.file(new File("C:/Applications/Capgemini.jpg"))
.filename("Capgemini.jpg")
.contentType("image/png")
.author(user)
.issue(issue)
.build()
attachmentManager.createAttachment(bean)

Hi Musku

If you create a Scriptrunner "Custom script post-function" on the "Create" workflow transition and set the following script as the Last item on the list of POST functions it will allow you to add an attachment to issues on creation.

Script Link:

Add attachment from the Jira servers file system to the issue on creation

Note: You need to alter the script to fit the file path and name for your system.

Check the atlassian-jira.log if you have problems just in case you get permission errors.

Your original script was missing this line:

.copySourceFile(true)

which means it would work once and then the file would be deleted so all other attempts would fail.

Further information on the CreateAttachmentParamsBean class here.

Matthew
