Is it possible to filter attachments by name?

Question

Hi,

I added the Space attachments macro on a page, and would like to add a filter for the attachment name. Is there a way to add a filter into the macro or some other way to filter the list?

Cheers!

Very misleading description of what the Attachment macro does. It doesn't filter on anything but file extension. You cannot, for instance, as far as I can tell, search on all file with "Biz" in the name. Eg., FirstBizPlan, SecondBizPlan, etc. 
Very dodgy of sloppy of Atlassian.

Thanks Steffi!

However, I wonder if there is a way to solve the issue without additional (paid) tools?

Hi Anssi,

we use "table filter" by StiltSoft for these kind of requirements. I've checked it: it works with the attachement macro
