Validation:
- The activity validates whether either the "Ticket ID" or "Ticket Key" is provided. If neither is provided, a validation error is raised.
How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Add Attachments" activity onto the workflow.
- Configure the properties by specifying the Ticket ID or Ticket Key, and provide a variable containing a list of file paths to be attached.
- Optionally, configure the delay and customize the display name.
- Execute the workflow to add attachments to the specified JIRA issue.
Example: Consider an example where the "Add Attachments" activity is used to attach two files to a JIRA issue with the Ticket Key "PROJ-123":
Add Attachments:
Delay: 2
Ticket Key: "PROJ-123"
Attachments: ["C:/Documents/File1.txt", "C:/Documents/File2.jpg"]
Result: isAttachmentAdded
In this example, the activity waits for 2 seconds before executing, attaches two files ("File1.txt" and "File2.jpg") to the JIRA issue with the Ticket Key "PROJ-123." The result of the operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isAttachmentAdded" for further handling in the workflow.
