      Summary

      Trying to import only attachments to JIRA. It is not working when using a large data.zip file.

      Environment

      • JIRA Cloud
      • File size: 3.7GB

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Go to JIRA > Restore System
      2. Choose Import attachments
      3. Import a file > 3GB

      Expected Results

      A message is prompted to inform whether the import is failed/success. Eg:

      Actual Results

      After the file uploaded, nothing happens. (It didn't carry the next step nor show any message)

      Workaround

      1. Extract the zipped file
      2. Split the attachments by projects with < 1GB each (before compressed). Eg:
        attachments-1.zip
        └─── data
              ├── attachments
              │         ├── ProjectKey1
              │         │         └── 10000
              │         │		├── IssueKey-1
              │         │		├── IssueKey-2
              │         │       	└── IssueKey-3
              │         ├── ProjectKey2
              │         └── ProjectKey3
              └── avatars
        attachments-2.zip
        └─── data
              └── attachments
                        ├── ProjectKey4
                        ├── ProjectKey5
                        └── ProjectKey6
        attachments-3.zip
        └─── data
              └── attachments
                        └── ProjectKey7
        
      3. Zip the files separately
      4. Import the files batch by batch
