Download all attachments with single click

[Sreenivasaraju P]

hi,

can i download all the attachments of jira ticket at once instead of downloading one by one.

i have 10-20 attachments for my jira tickets, i want to download all of them in one shot. can i do this one without downloading one by one.

Is there any other where i can manager(or arrange attachments) as groups.

Sreenivas.

On the view page, in the Attachments section, there is drop down when you click on the small down arrow on the right of the staright line. Once you click on that you will see various options to manage attachments and "Download All" is one option.

can i arrange the attachments as groups or segregate to different folders?

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

Haven't seen a way to do that.

This does not work in the new view

The new view lacks this option. I have a ticket with 20 PDFs attached and the browser displays each in browser rather than allowing a download. I found that I can get JSON from the API by changing domain.xxx/browse/TICKET-9999 to domain.xxx/rest/api/2/issue/TICKET-9999 and then use `jq` to extract the attachments with the query `[.fields.attachment[] | .content]`

As mentioned, Download All is in the Attachments "..." menu but only on the old issue view. (You can turn off "New JIRA Issue View" in JIRA settings, or click "See the old view" at the top of the issue page.)

Note that JIRA's Download All gives you a .zip file, but there's a Chrome extension to download all the individual files, so it's useful when you don't want a .zip: JIRA Attachment Download. It does not presently work with the new issue view.

@Atlassian, Why do you keep taking away useful features? I'm getting really annoyed at your product mgmt who thinks pretty is more important than functional.  Why would you think that someone would not need to download all attachments at once?

So this has been removed now? That sucks.

@stevemc The download attachment function is there, just hidden by the UX.  Click the 3 dots to the right of the Attachments section.  There is a menu option to download all attachments (JIRA 7.13)

@Amy can you provide a screenshot of what you are talking about? I see no “down arrow” nor “three dots” in the attachment section.

[Elizabeth Acuña Chairez]

Is only for server.

@Atlassian loosing features makes your product worse not better. Further pretty little tiles to display attached files with truncated names is no better than hitting your thumb with hammer! I nearly screwed up a task because your interface lacks the option to download all attachments at once. I just spent the 15 minutes that the task should have taken hacking up the html on your site to make all of the files visible at once. What a waste of time and energy!

If you can't keep existing features in a new UI, don't bother!

[martin leathem]

You can still (for now?) get this...  you have to flip into the old-view mode 
( URL?oldIssueView=true )

please @kuromiya  do keep the download all feature.  It would be an bad UX to remove this  ( insaine to remove a feature that is already hidden )

[Tully, Chris]

Yes I saw that after I wasted the time hacking the site by hand. 

IMO, Atlassian's idea of progress is to throw out all of the old code and start from scratch and hope nobody notice. And then ignore everyone when they do notice and complain.

Hi,

check this plugin Download Attachments for JIRA. With it you can download all attachments from JIRA search result. Attachments are grouped by issue and zipped into one archive. You can download attachments with only 3 clicks. See more on documentation page.

I also recommend the plugin mentioned my Mateusz. It works wonders.
