How to submit attachments on JIRA Issues using Confiforms

[Fred Williams]

I am trying to use confiforms to link to my current jira project however I can't figure out how to write the code so that way they are linked. Ideally, I want the attachments from the confiform to be submitted in the Jira Project. Below I have posted my code:

{
    "fields": {
       "project":
       { 
          "key": "ILS"
       },
       "summary": "[entry.Summary]",
	   "attachment": "[entry.Attachments]",
       "description": "[entry.Description]",
       "issuetype": {
          "name": "Task"
       }
   }
}

Please see the following tutorial on Creating Jira issues in Confluence using ConfiForms @Fred Williams

It also shows you how to send over attachments...

Quick answer is to drop a ConfiForms Field (referencing your file/attachments field) inside the same IFTTT macro body what creates the Jira issue and you are good

[Gemma Haenen]

I don't see a Confiforms Fields. Only Confiforms Forms Field.

Is that the one?

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

Yes, Confiforms Forms Field is the name of the macro

Let us know if you need any help, you can contact our support via https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/VERTUNA/Support+Request+Form

[Paul Ward]

While this works for users logged into Confluence, for users not logged in a whole raft of permission related errors are thrown (yes, anonymous is set). My counterpart moved to the IFTT webservice action to get around this, but that does not support attachmenst in the same way

all my search for attaching files using the rest API result in Java, PHP etc. answers

How do I either:

1) use the IFFT Create Jira action in a form used by non-confluence users

2) attach  file using the IFFT Webservice action

[Paul Ward]

I'll create a new request ...

Hi @Paul Ward

With built-in IFTTT action to create Jira Issues (which uses Application link) you have an easy way to send attachments to created Jira ticket

This relies on the application link between your Jira and Confluence and uses that as an auth story.

When you use generic web services requests then there is no magic done around uploading attachments... as well.. the request is generic and you tell it what to do

Below is the storage format for the workflow that creates Jira ticket, saves it back to ConfiForms entry and uploads the file as attachment and creates a remote link 

Everything uses the webservices connection

Alex - the links to your reply leads to a 404 and the content was chopped short in the email itself. Could you please respond again, perhaps to my post here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Attaching-files-to-Jira-issues-from-Confluence-offline-user/qaq-p/888576

cheers

It's weird, as I have provided you with a complete answer showing how to configure IFTTTs to do that.. and it was visible here for me, but now has disappeared

some anti-spam or something

how the hell I can provide the answer if this get's stripped !? Ohh

Trying to answer this question again in your linked question... @Paul Ward
