Add Multiple attachment fields

[Beamco I_T_]

Hello,

We have the cloud version of Jira and we're trying to achieve the below:

Moving from State 1 to State 2 must include attachment A

Moving from State 2 to State 3 must include attachment B

A condition must be met which is to have a different attachment at each state else the workflow should not continue,

Is there a way to achieve the above, or is there a third party app that works on the cloud version?

Thank you

Hi @Beamco I_T_,

I'm Elena, a product manager for Smart Attachments for Jira.

Our app allows users to add validators to workflow transitions based on custom labels created with the Smart Attachments macro. These validators will allow the transition of the issue to the defined status only if the issue has an attachment with the required label/s. Please, see the screenshot for details:

As for your request, you can create specific labels for attachments A and B (for example, A and B respectively). Later on, you could set the validator checking the presence of attachments with the specific label (A or B) to allow the transition to the required status. 

Feel free to contact me in case of any further questions or book a free demo for Smart Attachments for Jira.

Respectfully, 

Elena Ovdienko.

Attachments are not a field or a field type, they're a function that allow you to add files to an issue.   If you offer attachments to the humans, it really is just a simple open area with a pile of files in it.

There are apps that add functions to the attachments, so that you can categorise, sub-directory and/or label attachments ( https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212507/smart-attachments-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview for example), but I'm not sure that they have any functions that would support your "mandatory attachment" requirements here.

One of the more powerful scripting apps may be able to help though - Scriptrunner or Powerscripts may be able to do conditions or validators like "on transition 1, check there is an attachment named like abc*.doc" and "on transition 3, check there is an attachment like xyz*.xls"

Hi @Beamco I_T_ 

As @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- suggested, smart attachments add-on is one of the option which I evaluated before. It is possible to validate the attachment type in transitions.
