Summary

The attachment feature is not available in the Jira Mobile Android app for certain projects, although it works seamlessly in the iOS Jira app. This issue is specific to particular projects and does not impact all of them.

Environment

Diagnosis

The attachment panel is visible in the iOS mobile app, but not for some projects in Jira Mobile for Android.

Cause

The attachment field is not included in the Create issue, Edit, or View screen for the affected projects. This behavior is intentional, but inexplicably, iOS shows the attachment panel.

Solution
