- Macro that outputs a list of attachments from a specific Jira project based on a JQL query.
- The macro can support upload of attachments into Jira issues from Confluence by dropping files onto specific issues in the list generated by the macro.
The macro can integrate with Smart Attachments for Jira and show the list of attachments within the specific category. The Jira app functionality should be extended for this.

Users has tendency to put everything (including big powerpoint presentations, pdfs, executable) as part of wiki attachments. And many times it's seen that those attachments are not removed and they stay there forever; putting lots of work on bakup process. In order to prevent this problem; right now we have lowered the attachment size limit (2MB) and asked user to use file storage for any bigger attachments.
I guess having inbuilt control on space quota (so that users can't add any new data till some unused get removed) will be good way to restrict/remove unwanted stuff lying there forever!

Currently if you copy one Confluence page to another, there aren't any options to specify if you would like to copy the pages attachments over or not; they are all simply copied over. I know of at least one person who would prefer to have the option to copy a page without bringing over the attachments.
Perhaps this could be done with a checkbox per attachment during the copy operation.

We are currently using Confluence 5.10.4 and I would like to find a way to group attachments. At the moment we upload attachments to a page and then use the ‘Attachments’ macro to display the list of documents. This works well but I would like to find a way to group attachments to make it easier to identify documents by type. e.g. Requirements, Specification, UI, API, Archived, etc.
I thought about using the label but you can’t group or sort by the label field.
