Is there any way I can export all Attachments from all tickets in a single project? I have 706 tickets in a single project and need to export all attachments without going thru manually and doing so. Is there any way to do this?
Thank you!

Hey Jacqy,
did you manage to download all your attachments? If not there are also two Marketplace Solutions which should make this a breeze.
If you use Jira Server have a look at Download Attachments. If you are on Jira Cloud check out Bulk Attachment Download.

Dear @Jacqy George,
two ways:
The rude one:
Go to the jira home's attachment directory and copy all files of the project. Disadvantage: you have not the original file names.
The api one:
Use the REST API search request to pull first all Jira issues of your project and then parse for each issue the attachment list. The JSON variable content keeps the URL to an attachment. Of cause the filename is also available. Then, one HTTP GET later for each attachment, you got them all.
So long
Thomas

We will try option 2, API but haven't had a chance to try this out yet.
Thanks,

If you're on Jira server, you can run this database command to get the to combine Unix command with the file name:
select ( 'mv ' || project.originalkey || '-' || jiraissue.issuenum || '/' || fileattachment.id || ' "' || project.originalkey || '-' || jiraissue.issuenum || '/' || filename || '"' ) as command from fileattachment join jiraissue on fileattachment.issueid = jiraissue.id join project on jiraissue.project = project.id where project.pkey = '<project-key>';
Example results:
mv PROJ-10/10031 "PROJ-10/screenshot-1.png"
mv PROJ-23/10000 "PROJ-23/screenshot2.jpg"
mv PROJ-23/10002 "PROJ-23/image.png"
Then run the command in terminal to rename your files.

Thank you very much for the information, you have helped me complete a process.

Hi @Jacqy George ,
I used the following solution a while back to export all attachments from JIRA OnDemand, I think it still might work for JIRA Cloud.

For Jira Cloud, can use this script written by one of the Atlassian Support Engineers to download the attachments from Filters.

The script above was awesome, however it dumped all attachments into the same folder. I made some changes to allow it to download attachments for each issue into a directory named after the key.
It's a little rough, because I got hung-up on shell quoting/escaping and ended up hardcoding my username:api_token into the curl command. If anybody has more l33t shell scripting skills, please please let me know the fix.
downloadbykey.sh:

And if you don't include the time I banged my head against the table figuring out the right arguments for jq and xargs, it's way faster than Ilya's method of running a backup and extracting the files from it.
On the other hand, Ilya's technique would have come in handy that time a project was accidentally deleted along with all the attachments. :-O
