Jira issue handling multiple attached images with same filename

Originally asked by Alastair Wade on 14 July 2023 (original question)


Is there an Exalate workaround for the problem where multiple files attached to a Zendesk ticket with the same filename appear in Jira as the same file attachment duplicated? This is a known limitation in Jira where you cannot attach files to a ticket with the same name but in Zendesk one can. When such a ticket is synced from Zendesk to Jira what appears is a ticket with the same attachment multiple times e.g. Zendesk ticket has 2 different attachments with the same name whereas the newly created synced Jira ticket has 2 identical attachments.

Hi Alastair

This is a limitation in the API and we can not change that unless we change the Jira source code :smile:

Perhaps it could be a workaround for you to have this hosted on a 3th party?

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Mathieu Lepoutre
