JIRA: Automatically add an attachment to and issue after create

[Adolfo Casari]

Hi,

I would like to add an attachment to an issue right after it has been created (in the Create postfunction).

The attachement is copied from a file that is located at a given path in the server's filesystem (In JIRA HOME directory for instance).

This is Jira Server. I know this can be accomplish with a groovy scriptrunner postfunction, but I am not familiar with the API involved in this case.

Thanks in advance,

Hi @Adolfo Casari 

The api you need is the AttachmentManager to create a new attachment.

see https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.6.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/AttachmentManager.html

This can be created using the ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager

see

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.1.7/com/atlassian/jira/component/ComponentAccessor.html

I’m not sure how familiar you are with groovy and scriptrunner so if you need more detail post specific questions on the thread
