Sharing attachments with customers during CSV import form external system to Jira Service Desk

Question

I am using CSV import feature to import my issues from external system into my Jira service desk project.

Issues are being imported fine along with attachments. However the attachments are only visible internally to the agents.

I want to make the attachments publicly visible to customer as well. Please let me know how this can be done during import?

The attachment is being embedded in a comment.

I have used the workaround of adding a new "Comment" column and then inserted file name in special syntax as shown below; and it was visible on client portal.

For multiple attachments i added multiple "Comment" columns in CSV import file; each with file name in below syntax.

[^filename.ext] 
e.g. [^death_star_blueprints.zip]
