Attachments Sync in GitLab Integration

As of now, there’s a limitation to syncing attachments from GitLab. It doesn’t support attachments natively, but it is possible to sync them with a workaround by providing a cookie header.

How to sync attachments

1. Please open your type mappings in your Jira Gitlab integration and go to the Comments & Attachments tab. Enable Synchronize attachments:

1. Get the Cookie header from your GitLab account. Use the developer's tool (F12 on Windows) within your GitLab’s groups page and go to Network > Groups > Click on Headers and scroll down to Cookie.

1. Copy the information and paste it into the GitLab Cookie Header field in Getint. Click Apply, to submit the changes and save your integration.

1. Make sure to test the attachments after enabling the feature.

Currently, attachments are only supported one way from GitLab to the other app in the integration. Also, no API is available to download and upload attachments through a Gitlab integration. As a result, this alternative remains the only option for downloading attachments from synced comments as long as they come from GitLab.
