Connect attachments with issues afterwards - how to?

[TamasS]

Hi Everyone,

during a Jira to Jira migration we downloaded the project's attachment folder after the CSV import. So the issues have been migrated to the target site but the attachments left behind.

Is it possible to connect the attachments with the already imported tickets? We copy all attachments to the target Jira server but don't know how to connect with the issues.

Thank you in advance for your hints!

Best regards,
Tamas

The mappings between the issues and the attachments come from the DB.  If you did a CSV import, your new tickets are unlikely to have the requisite data in the tickets to do this mapping. I would recommend using the XML backup/restore function to bring over attachments:
