Get last added attachment to issue using smart values

[Sebastian Krzewiński]

Hi

Is it possible to get name or id of last added attachment to issue using smart values?

I tried issue.attachment.id.last but it get last item from attachments list.

Regards,

Sebastian

I've got a similar requirement. My solution was to create an automation with a Field value changed trigger monitoring 'Value added' for 'Attachment'.  I use the smart value {{addedfieldChange.valueIds}} to get the id of the added attachment.

This was sufficient for my use case (notifying an external app when a file was attached). I suppose you could trigger an update to a custom Jira field to track the last added attachment?

I'm not sure if this helps you exactly but if you use the smart value: {{attachment.created}}, it will give you a comma separated list of the creation date of all the attachments on an issue.

Hi @Michael March 

Thanks for tip but this is not what I need.

I need to get last added attachment. Dates are ok but I can't work in automation and search attachments based on creation date.

Seba

Hello

It is possible to use the smart value {{issue.attachment.last.id}}.

However, I find it very unreliable and inconsistent and it often does NOT report the last Id.

You should experiment with that - how is it different from what you tried at first?

Hi @Stuart__ 

*.first or *.last return first/last item from attachment list. In many cases last attachment on list isn't last added attachment.

I fixed this by using script runner in automation for jira. This gave me attachments list which I was able to use in automation.

@Sebastian Krzewiński can you share this?

@Fabrizio Galletti _Getconnected_ 

since February my rule change a lot and I switch making a attachment list from scriptrunner to automation's smart values. 

It looks like below:

"attachment":[{{#issue.attachment}}{"id":"{{id}}","author":{"name":"{{author.name}}","key":"{{author.key}}","emailAddress":"{{author.emailAddress}}"},"filename":"{{filename}}","created":"{{created}}"}{{^last}},{{/}}{{/}}]}},

"attachment":[{{#issue.attachment}}{"id":"{{id}}","author":{"name":"{{author.name}}","key":"{{author.key}}","emailAddress":"{{author.emailAddress}}"},"filename":"{{filename}}","created":"{{created}}"}{{^last}},{{/}}{{/}}]}},

 This is still giving all the attachment in the webhook logs, I am also struggling to find an answer to just include the last attachment in last transition screen.

Did this work for you with only last attachment ? @Sebastian Krzewiński

Hey all.

I am running into the exact same issue at the moment.

I want to retrieve the last added attachment author's and id.

Just as you, I am so disapointed that the attachment list is not ordered like the comments one, by "created" date but alphabetically.

Have you gotten a solution so far?

What is the scriptrunner that you used @Sebastian Krzewiński ?

Thanks.

This question is a lot out of date, I'd suggest asking a new one.
