This topic is quite old, but I want to join the question. Is there a solution for Jira Cloud to upload a lot of files to different issues at the same time? Without having to buy a plugin ...

JIRA Command Line Interface (CLI) is often used to automate such tasks using addAttachment perhaps combined with createIssue.

We have a use case for bulk update attachments. We use JIRA to approve financial documents at the end of the quarters. To do so we create multiple sub-tasks upon the creation of the task in the project. We need to be able to put the file on the sub-tasks after they are created.
