Features used to implement the example
Example: Copy attachments from one issue to another one
Is it possible to copy attachments with Write field on linked issues or sub-tasks post-function?
I have just released version 2.0.18 of Jira Workflow Toolbox which includes two new writable virtual fields that allows you to copy attachments from linked issues and sub-tasks using post-functions Write field on linked issues or sub-tasks and Read fields from linked issues or sub-tasks. The new virtual fields are called:
- Attachments (only new attachments will be added)
Attachments (current attachments will be replaced)
Depending on which of the virtual fields you select as target field, you can add the attachments of one issue to another one, or replace the attachments of one issue with the ones of the another issue.
