Create an attachment via automated webhook to JIRA REST-API by providing attachment URL

Chris Fortmueller

JIRA does not currently support the copying of comments or attachments when cloning issues (see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-5052). However, this is a requirement for us in certain cases. I am therefore trying to implement a similar feature to copy attachments via sending HTTP requests from Automation for Jira.

I have been able to do this via postman with the following configuration:

 

 

Can I also, instead of selecting a file in the second screenshot via the explorer, provide the JIRA REST-API with a file URL? If that would work, I could use webhook request in Jira Automation...

Hi @Chris Fortmueller 

Copying attachment from one instance to another or project to another is very possible via API. However using automation and webhook seems more like manual task would be involved rather than it being automated. i.e. how will the attachment url be extracted dynamically using automation and how would automation post the data back to another project or instance?
