# Jira issue attachments

## Description

The **Jira Issue Attachments** activity enables your workflow to manage file attachments on Jira issues by interacting with the Jira REST API.

This activity supports the following operations:

- **Get** – Retrieve a specific attachment by ID.
- **Get All** – Fetch all attachments associated with a given Jira issue.
- **Create** – Upload and attach one or more files to a Jira issue.
- **Delete** – Remove a specific attachment by its ID.

Use this activity to:

- Automate evidence or report uploads to a Jira ticket
- Retrieve all attached files (logs, screenshots, PDFs) for processing
- Programmatically delete outdated or sensitive attachments

> **Use Case**:  
> After executing automated test scripts in a CI/CD pipeline, you can use the `Create` operation to attach test reports or screenshots to a Jira issue. You can then use `Get All` to retrieve and archive attachments for audit or reporting purposes.
