Hi @Ankit kharola

Yes, you need to download and re-upload the attachment content when cloning issues in a Forge app.

In Jira, the attachments array contains metadata (Filename, MIME type, URL to download the file), but not the file content itself. So simply referencing the same attachment in a new issue won't work - Jira won't display them in the new issue.
