Drag and Drop email attachments into JIRA

Mahesh Mapa August 27, 2015

Hi All

Is there a way to drag and drop Outlook email attachments into JIRA without saving the attachment first and then dragging and dropping into JIRA. With 2 other email clients (Thunderbird and Groupwise) I can drag and drop email attachments into JIRA without any problems.

It works on JIRA Cloud with Outlook 2013 but not on JIRA Server e.g

This might be a better question to the Outlook people since JIRA will only "listen" to objects being dragged/dropped to the attachment window, it does not care where does it came from or what it is.

If the other 2 clients can do it (dragging them out of the mail creates a file object in the clipboard), then it's a limitation on Outlook, hence not a JIRA question IMHO.
