How to search issues with attachments on Jira

Erwin Manuel September 23, 2012

Hi all,

How can users search for issues with attachments?

I tried installing https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.toolkit but not sure how it works. I could not find any keyword on querying issues with attachments.

Thanks in advance!

Try the JQL Tricks Plugin at https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.j-tricks%3Ajql-plugin it has a "hasAttachments()" function to do this search.

For the current JIRA Cloud version this seems to work:

attachments IS NOT EMPTY

There is Search Attachemnts Plugin

It can search pdf, office docs (ms/open/libe) and more. Search for issues with any attachments is also possible. Try it.
