How to write the Jira Expression that attachment is not null

[Oliver Siebenmarck _Polymetis Apps_]

Hi @Sunilkumar k ,

With Jira Expressions, the attachment attribute is never null – it's always a list. 

Now, if you want to check if there's an attachment to your issue, here's how to do that:

issue.attachments.length > 0

Above expression will be false unless an attachment has been added to the issue. 

Hope that helps,

 Oliver

Hi @Sunilkumar k ,

You can use the following JQL:

Search for issues that have attachments:
attachments IS NOT EMPTY  

Search for issues that do not have attachments:
attachments IS EMPTY

Hi @Sunilkumar k ,

That wasn't really clear.  I assumed you were searching based on attachments.
