Use case

Evaluate if the type of files in the Attachments field is the one specified.

This use case is valid for both conditions and validators . The only difference is that you can specify an additional error message when using a validator.

Configuration

Jira expression*

issue?.attachments.every(attachment => attachment.mimeType == "image/jpeg")

All of the attachments of the current issue must be in JPEG format.

If you need to evaluate if the type of files are in other format replace image/jpeg with the following expressions:

  • application/pdf for PDF files,

  • image/png for PNG files,
  • video/mp4 for MP4 files and
  • binary/octet-stream for log files.
Variations

Jira expression*

issue?.attachments.every(attachment => attachment.filename.includes(".docx"))

All of the attachments are DOCX files. The expression for this type of file is different from the previous ones.

Jira expression*

issue?.attachments.some(attachment => attachment.mimeType == "image/jpeg")

Some of the attachments are JPEG files.

Jira expression*

issue.attachments.filter(attachment => attachment.filename == issue.customfield_10001 + "_Attached_File.pdf").length != 0

At least one of the attachments follows a naming convention. The name of the file is composed of the option selected in a custom field plus a fixed text and the file type.
