Deleting unwanted attachments from an issue

Summary

Sometimes issues collect a bunch of unwanted attachments, especially when automatically added by the email handler. This is a quick way to remove a subset of attachments quickly with a regex statement. Be careful .

Steps

atlassian jira --action runFromAttachmentList --issue XXX-123 --regex "image.*" --common "-a removeAttachment --issue @issue@ --id @attachmentId@"

Requirements

• Jira Command Line Interface (CLI)
• Release 3.9 is required to use @issue@, otherwise just repeat the issue key
