<JIRA_HOME>/data/attachments/<PROJECT>/<BUCKET>/<ISSUE_ID>/<ID>

The above kb mentioned about how to locate attachment in the filesystem.

I have some question on the <BUCKET>. What is this and how to retrieve this?

In my project, I can find "10000" for <BUCKET>. will it be any other value?

@Kim Tso  Welcome to the Community!!!

<BUCKET> here is grouping based on issue row number in database, for example,

• Issues that get IDs from 10000 - 19999 go into the "10000" bucket.
• Issues in IDs range from 20000 to 29999 go into the "20000" bucket.

This is set just to by-pass limitations put by various OS and file-systems for number of sub-directories and files.

This is introduced in Jira 8.

 @DPKJ  Thanks.

Is there any java object call that can get the <BUCKET> in JIRA workflow?

It likely change when issues are created.
