Hey @נדיה וולנובסקי ,

Going by the documentation (https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-file-attachments/) it doesn't seem like you can limit what attachments are uploaded.

I'd suggest opening a support call for it at https://support.atlassian.com/contact to see if this can be changed or if there is a suggestion for it on the roadmap.

There's nothing in Jira that will block uploads by arbitrary file type.

Jira doesn't block attachments by mimetypes. As an alternative, you could probably create an automation externally that would check periodically for attachments on an issue and if it detects mimetypes that is not accepted, it deletes it.
