Abstract
This code snippet copies Attachments to the current issue from issues linked to it with a specific link type. Since currently copying and setting of attachments is not supported until JMWE-504 is implemented, you can use this snippet to copy the attachments.
Logic
Fetch the attachments of the linked issues, linked to the current issue with a specific link type and use the AttachmentManager to copy them.
Snippet
//Initialize the attachmentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.AttachmentManager
AttachmentManager attachmentManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager()
//Define a variable to store the attachments
def attach = []
if(issue.getLinkedIssues("<Link type name>")){
//Fetch the attachments of the linked issue and store them in the attach variable
issue.getLinkedIssues("<Link type name>").each{
attach += it.get("attachment")
}
}
//Add each attachment to the issue
attach.each{
attachmentManager.copyAttachment(it,currentUser,issue.key)
}
By not specifying the link type, as issue.getLinkedIssues(), you can copy the Attachments of all the linked issues of the current issue, other than the Parent-Subtask and Epic-Story links.
