Is it possible to disable attachments for an issue type in Jira Cloud?

We really need people to stop adding attachments to a specific issue type. Is it possible to make the Attach "button" at the top of the screen go away?Attach.JPG

Hi there!

Have you found a solution to this? Using a workflow property could do the trick, but it will require adding the same property on all workflow statuses.

I hope it helps,

Hi Lydia,

You might try removing the Attachment field from the Edit screen for that Issue Type. Not sure that will work, but that's the only thing I know of that will will get close.

Maybe if you hide the Attachments field in a field configuration? Even then I think it is still there. You could write JQL to detect attachments in issues in that project as a warning, but in general I don't think this is possible
