How to save automaticly defined attachments?

[Andreas Pluto]

Hello everyone,

is there a way to automatically save the uploaded attachments from selected user experiences in a predefined directory?

[Rudy Holtkamp · Accepted solution]

Hi, Jira stores attachments in the <Jira Home>\data\attachments\<Project key>\<number, like 10000>\<issue-key>.

As example <Jira home>(Windows system): C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Application Data\JIRA\data\attachments\SLP1\10000\SLP1-6\10101

Where the last 10101 represents the (renamed) file.

This means that you can change the Jira Home dir or you can use (sym/hard) links to redirect attachments to another disk location. But this is not recommended, at all. But if you do so, you should really think about your backup strategy.

Hello,
Thanks for the info.
The attachments are just lying there :-)
Two questions:
1. is it possible to restore the original filenames
2. is this also organized in Scrum projects?

Thanks for an info.

Greetings,
Andreas

1. I don't know your objective, but renaming the files will make them useless for Jira, you can rename it to the original file name and open it. (In other words, the are only renamed, not compressed.

2. Yes, for every project it is the same.

My aim is to save all documents created for a project (test cases, documentation, customizing messages, etc.) with the appropriate names in a folder independent of Jira, so that they can be sent to an auditor.
This is a rather complex project. To fall back on the documentation in Jira for the audit would be very time-consuming.
Therefore, the original names of the documents are very important.

[Andreas Pluto]

A matching between original name and Jira code must be stored in a table (which table)

[Rudy Holtkamp]

It is in the fileattachment table:

select * from fileattachment;

Sorry for the late feedback - but it fits perfectly :-)

The next problem - unfortunately the documents are not named speaking.
Conclusions can be drawn from the underlying user stories.
In which tables are they stored or linked to the individual projects - and can the status be checked additionally?

Do you have any idea or solution?

Regards,

Andreas Pluto
