            Hi

            I created a workaround for adding attachments in comments - https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-questions/The-Field-value-changed-trigger-does-not-work-for-some-fields/qaq-p/2966826

            Hope that will help some of you as a workaround but still I'm waiting for fixing this bug!

            6c42cd3a07e9, I use the automation below to get this functionality to work with attachments.

            Note: if the attached file type is not listed in the regular expression portion of the condition, the automation will fail to execute. For this reason, probably best to over-saturate that expression with file type names.

             

            Trigger:

            Issue Commented (Comment is the main action)

            Condition:

            Smart Values Condition-

              First value:

              triggerIssue.comment.last.body

              Condition:

              __  contains regular expression

              Regular Expression:

              \.(txt|jpg|pdf|gif|png|csv|docx|pptx)

            Action:

            Whatever you want.

             

            Hope this helps
