Maintain attachment/comment association during Bugzilla import

XMLWordPrintable

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      When you attach a file to a bug in Bugzilla, Bugzilla automatically adds something like this to the start of the associated comment:

      Created an attachment (id=11737)

      When you're inside Bugzilla, it linkifies that so it's a hyperlink to the attachment data.

      Jira doesn't do anything special with this text during import, so it becomes less useful in the imported data set. I would suggest that at a minimum, the ID number could be rewritten, because Jira gives the attachment a new ID. And a further extension (not sure how feasible this is though) would be to rewrite it into the wiki renderer syntax for a hyperlink to the attachment, so it functions exactly like the original comment in Bugzilla.

            Hello, community.
            You can try our add-on Smart Attachments, which allows you to see comment icons next to the names of attached files. When pointing to the icon, you can see the comment, which was left by the uploader. You can download the add-on from https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.jira.smart-attachments. You can also try several enhancements for attachment management.

            Thanks.
            Best Regards,
            Vadim Rutkevich [StiltSoft]

            To implement this, JRA-1844 needs to be implemented first.

            Then, this functionality can be taken advantage of during a Bugzilla import.
