exalating attachments (pasted images) on azuredevops result in transferred into same-name files on the receiving JIRA side,

this means you need to save copies & rename manually before being able to differentiate between the diff files.

This should be avoided. Appreciate a workaround for this / a solution to deal with this.

Unfortunately, AzureDevOps stores these attachments inline, without visible filenames, so I assume that the filename given is determined by the outgoing issue filter processing.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben De Pauw

Nice to meet you here 😄  
You can modify the names of the files in the incoming sync on the Jira side.

I believe

**Incoming Sync - Jira side - totally untested**

```auto
issue.attachments = attachmentHelper.mergeAttachments (issue, replica, {
       it.name = "ADO_" + it.name
})

```
