How to search specific value on all attachments metadata fields

[David Tordera]

We need to found some data on attachments metadata, but without knowing previously neither filename, neither issue. In fact, it is precisely to locate the issue which contains an attachment with that metadata.

So, we check out that Jira Database (>9.0) got a table fileattachments, but there's nothing related to it's metadata; neither appears anything on /var/altassian/jira/data/attachments/(...)

Is there then a way to make a full search for a value on attachmentsmetadata fields?

Thanks you!

Hi @David Tordera and welcome,

what specific metadata are you looking for? fileattachment table contains all information about a specific attachment.

Hello Fabio,

I've got these fields on Attachments Metadata interface:

But got those ones on FileAttachment Jira (>9.0 DB) table:

So I don't know how to relate first ones to second ones. My task is, by a bulk search on DB or whatever mean, finding which attachments got, for example, property SignedBy with the value TestMetadataSigned, without knowing the issue (in fact is all task is required to find the related issues), but I'm unable to find that value on any database table that I know nowadays,

Please let me know,

Thanks!

Hey @David Tordera ,

so you are referring to Confluence instance but your DB query is referring to a JIRA instance. Probably Attachment Metadata page is provided by a third part app. Please could you provide more information about that app?

Ok, I see. Thanks! It is very possible that those metadata labels were introduced by a plugin, Smart Attachments, and not by Jira itself.

Thanks again, Fabio, will investigate with the plugin support.

you're welcome @David Tordera . My suggestion is to take a look to System -> Plugin Data Storage to find Smart Attachments tables ;) and please mark my answer as accepted if it solved your question
