The Smart Attachments for Jira app allows you to see the list of all attachments from the Jira project in the Find attachments section.

Here you can:

  • delete single attachments from different Jira issues
  • bulk delete attachments from multiple Jira issues
  • bulk download attachments from multiple Jira issues
  • search for attachments by the uploader or file name text
  • search for issues with attachments by labels
  • manage labels of attachments

Search for attachments

In the Find attachments section, you can search for attachments by:

  • user (who uploaded an attachment)
  • text (a full name or a part of the name of an attachment)

  2. See the list of all attachments from the current Jira project with the respective user permissions (you will only see the files if you have access to them).
  3. Enter the required search criteria in the search fields.

Search for issues with attachments

In the Find attachments section, you can search for issues with attachments by their labels. This requires using the advanced search based on JQL. Please note that the result will return the list of Jira issues having the respective attachments. You'll need to navigate to the issue to see the attachments.

The search by label uses the OR logic. It means you get the list of issues with any specified labels in results.
