How to make attachment mandatory?

[Swarna Radha]

Hi, I have used Field(s) changed validator "attachment" but it is not making the field mandatory.

Then I have used script validator using condition below:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
ComponentAccessor.attachmentManager.getAttachments(issue).size() = 0

This is not letting me submitting the form as the error message is displaying.

Is there any solution?

Thanks

Swarna

Hello @Swarna Radha

You can create custom script validator to achieve this.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.attachment.TemporaryWebAttachment
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.attachment.TemporaryWebAttachmentManager
import webwork.action.ActionContext
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException

def temporaryAttachmentUtil = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(TemporaryWebAttachmentManager)
def formToken = ActionContext.getRequest()?.getParameter(IssueFieldConstants.FORM_TOKEN)

if (formToken) {
 def tempWebAttachments = temporaryAttachmentUtil.getTemporaryWebAttachmentsByFormToken(formToken)
 tempWebAttachments.each { TemporaryWebAttachment it ->
 log.error("Uploaded attachment name: ${it.filename}") 
 }
 if(!tempWebAttachments){
 throw new InvalidInputException(IssueFieldConstants.ATTACHMENT,
 "You must upload attachment")
 }
}

Hi Mark,

Is there a way to make attachments filed mandatory based on custom field value?

for example, I want to make attachments mandatory only when field value = x

we are using jira server with script runner plugin.

Hi @viswa_reddy, Do you have the solution for your case? I need exactly the same. Thank you!

Hello @Swarna Radha

Please use the following instead with simple script validator: 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
ComponentAccessor.attachmentManager.getAttachments(issue).size() >= 1

I hope this will help

Any option to check if the no of attachments are 4 in number.

and for a specific transition.

The solution for the SimpelScriptValidator ends every time in a NullPointerException.

The solution above for the custom script validator works.

This checks, if a issue has something attached. But during the transition the attachment is not yet been attached. This is the reason why the TemporaryWebAttachmentManager has to be used.
