Copy attachments from one issue to another linked issue in another project

[Filip Škledar]

Is there some kind of post function or listener that enables copying of attachments form one issue to his linked issue in another project? I would like to do it with ScriptRunner for cloud.

OOTB I don’t believe there is a solution for this. I would suggest Automation but there is an open request for this - AUT-1030 . There are addon solutions, e.g. Exlate and probably scriptrunner.

I have scriptrunner and that is the way I would like to implement solution. Do you know how to implement it?

Kr,

Filip

Hi @Filip Škledar ,

If you're open to trying another app, Elements Copy & Sync allows you to copy attachments between linked issues.

For example, if you use the app to clone a JSM ticket into a software project (or just create a linked ticket), you can have attachments from the JSM ticket copied over to the new issue. This works even with new attachments, like when a customer provides something new on the JSM ticket.

If you have any trouble setting it up, don't hesitate to contact the Elements support team.

If still needed, I can share code for this :)

So I added a custom field (select list) where the user was able to select if he want to copy the attachment as well, if he selected attachments the script would go like this:

if(selectedFields.contains("Załączniki")){
    for(int i = 0; i < attachment.size(); i++ ){
        def attId = attachment.id[i]
        def att = Unirest.get('/rest/api/2/attachment/' + attId).asObject(Map).body
        def downloadUrl = attachment.content[i]
        def readFileResp = Unirest.get(downloadUrl).asBinary()
        log.warn(downloadUrl)
        def response = Unirest.post('/rest/api/2/issue/' + createdIssueKey + '/attachments')
                .header("Accept", "application/json")
                .header("X-Atlassian-Token", "nocheck")
                .field("file", readFileResp.body, att.title.toString())
                .asObject(Map)

    }
}

The way it works - the user selects Copy on the issue.

On a Copy screen, he can select the Destination project; on the checklist, he can choose what will be moved.

You can trim it down just to copy the issue without fireworks
