Attachments
Define whether attachments are synchronized between instances.

You can synchronize attachments either bidirectional or unidirectional. Once you have selected the direction, you can further configure which attachments should be synced. Without further configuration, all attachments are syncing.
Additionally, on this page you’ll find more information about how attachments deletion is handled, and how attachments work when syncing Jira Service Management projects.
Configuration
You can configure additional options via the filters links for both directions. There you can choose between two modes:
Exclude Mapping (default). This synchronizes all attachments in the synchronization except the ones you specify with the filter options.
Include Mapping. Only attachments matching the filter options will be synchronized.

Filter options
Maximum file size. Files bigger than the specified file size will not be synchronized. The file size is specified in MB.
Mime Types. Files with a mime type from this list will be included in / excluded from the synchronization. You can find a list of possible mime types here (use the template).
Filename Regex. Files with a name matching this regular expression will be included in / excluded from (Blacklist Mapping) the synchronization. The regular expression will be executed in Java, so you can use any regular expression which works in Java.
Deletion Behavior
If an attachment gets deleted in the work item where it was originally added, it will also be removed in the corresponding work item in the partner project.
If you delete an attachment that has been synchronized to the partner project by Backbone, it will not be removed in the work item in the partner project where it was added originally.
Jira Service Management
In Jira Service Management attachments are marked as "internal" or as "shared with customers" ("public"). This information is stored in comments where the attachments are in. Therefore the synchronization of comments needs to be enabled in the same direction as the synchronization of attachments. You can enable or disable attachment syncs with the same visibility settings as applied to comments.
If you synchronize attachments from a Jira Software project to a Jira Service Management project, the attachment visibilities will be set as configured by the comment settings. Within this process comments in the Jira Service Management project might be generated.
