How can I copy attachments and weblinks in automation

Question

I have following logic in my automation:

IF Status equals "selected"

THEN create a ticket in another project and set following values

* summary (new) = summary (old)
* description (new) = description (old)

I also want to "copy" the attachments and weblinks from the original ticket to the new one. But I don´t know how.

Can I do this with the additional Json structure?

Hi @Fabian Böhm  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I do not believe it is possible yet to copy attachments from one issue to another with automation rules.  Please see this post and the suggestions to add the feature:
