copy the name of attachments in a custom field

Leena Pratheepan_5zjtp7

Hello Atlassian Community,

I would like to display the names of the attached files in a custom field. I tried it with Jira Automation, but it doesn't work.

When: Field value changed : Attachments

If: Issuetype = Task

Edit Fields: Documents:

Error message: Unknown fields set during editing. These may not be available for the project/type. Check your configuration for custom fields. Fields ignored -

Do you have an alternative solution for this?

Does anyone have experience with Listener from Scriptrunner?

Best Regards, Leena

Hi Leena,

It looks like you're trying to dynamically update a custom field with the names of attached files using Jira Automation, but Jira’s native automation doesn’t allow direct updates to custom fields with attachment data.

Hi @Leena Pratheepan

I'm wondering why do you need a list of attachments in the field. smart value {{issue.attachments}} will try to throw attachments to mentioned field. If its even possible maybe try something like this {{issue.attachments.filename}} but i'm not sure if this gonna work. If you have scriptrunner you can try add a script field which will loop throw all attachments and dynamically show all of its filenames in the field.

Hello @Leena Pratheepan

You just need to make adjustments, for example: Screenshot 2024-09-10 at 12.26.32.png

Each time you add an attachment, it will separate it by comma (their names).

Thank you for your answer, But it does not work,

Error message:
Unknown fields specified during editing. These may not be available for the project/type. Check your configuration for custom fields. Fields ignored -
Documents to be submitted incl. chapter (customfield_20806)
No fields or field values to edit tasks (possibly due to field values that do not exist in a specific project)

This error message is not possible because it is present in the field configuration of the schemas and has no configuration in custom field.

Thank you for your reply.

We need all the names of the attached documents for export purposes.We have Scriptrunner. I have not yet worked with Script Field. I'll have to look again

Have you double checked everything related to the custom field?

Leena Pratheepan_5zjtp7

Yes

Hi Leena,

Yes, you`re right.

I use Element Connect. It works.

I create an element connect textfield with database SQL and made an automation rule for population.

Thank you all for your comments
