File Fields for Jira

A Jira issue has one attachment area, so "the signed contract", "the invoice" and "the screenshots" end up in the same pile. File Fields for Jira adds a custom field type that holds files, so each kind of file has its own place on the issue.

What you get

• A File Field: create it like any Jira custom field (Create custom field → Advanced → File Field) and put it on your screens.
• Add files in the field: choose one or several files, see each file's name and size, and download them from the issue view.
• Limits per field: allowed file types, maximum size per file and maximum number of files (1 to 25, default 10). Set them separately for each field and context.
• Required files: use Jira's own Required setting for the field, or the Field required validator on a workflow transition.
• Issue view and transitions: add files in the issue view and on workflow transition screens.
• Normal Jira attachments: files are stored as attachments on the issue, so Jira's permissions, size limit and attachment tools apply. Removing a file from the field keeps the attachment on the issue.
• Lists and search: the field shows as "N file(s)" in places that show a field value as text.

Good to know

• Files can't be added on the Create issue screen. Create the issue, then edit the field.
• A field holds up to 25 files.
• Allowed types and maximum size are checked when someone adds files in the field.

Runs on Atlassian

Built on Atlassian Forge. The app has no storage, server or database of its own: the field value (a list of attachment IDs) is kept in the Jira issue and the files are Jira attachments. Nothing is sent anywhere else.
