Hi Team,

We’ve successfully indexed our JIRA server, but the self-managed connector is also indexing attachment names as documents/items. I tried using the "Sync Rule" and "Advanced Rules" with `Type != Attachment` or `IssueType != Attachment`, but without success. The only thing that partially worked was `NOT issueFunction in hasAttachments()`, but this excluded bugs or stories that have attachments, which I want to keep.

Any suggestions on how to index issues like bugs or stories without indexing attachments as separate items?

Hi @Noam_Huri ,

Sync Rules are probably the easiest way to do this, but a few "gotchas" to be aware of:

- casing is going to matter here
- sync rules only apply the first rule that they _match_. So order the rules right, and make sure you have an _exclude_ rule that matches attachments _before_ any rule that would _include_ those documents.

I just tested this locally, and this rule successfully filtered out my jira attachments:

Hi Sean, thank you very much!

I believe you are right because I started by filtering a specific Project. I’ll give it a try and let you know.

Thanks

Noam
