Should attachments be deleted from an issue when they're deleted from the Description?

Matt Parks

I'm running Jira 8.20.1 and I'm seeing that, when an image is embedded into the Description of an issue, that image is automatically added as an attachment to the issue.

That's the behavior that we want to see but, when the image is removed from the Description, it isn't automatically deleted from the list of attachments on the issue. Is this expected behavior?

Our instance is configured to allow users to delete their own attachments, but the attachment remains even if the same user that added the attachment to the Description removes that attachment, so it's not a permissions issue.

@Matt Parks, 

Any attachments added to a text field are added as attachments to the tickets themselves. To delete the attachment, the user would need to navigate to the attachments section and remove it directly from there. Deleting the comment/description isn't enough.
