How Attachments would be handled in context Reuse and Sync Items

Hi,

user reuses an Item having an attachment with Options

  • Sync Item(s) and share Global ID
  • include all tags, attachments, and links

As the result, user has two items, which are in sync and each of them has an attachment.

For one of these synced items, user adds another attachment. We notice with Jama Connect Version 8.74.1, it is not possible for user, through synchronisation feature, to sync the attachment to the other synced item.

Does it work as aspected? If Yes, would Jama consider to extend the Synchronisation feature to include synchronisation from attachments?

    Hi Lien, 

    When the user tries syncing the attachment added to the first item to the other synced item, do they get any error messaging (and, if so, what does the message say)?

    Hi Carly,

    How can user sync the attachements between 2 synchronized items? 

    An Example here:

    I have 2 items 

    1. AIS-CR-3 with 2 files in Attachment
    2. AIS-CR-2 with only 1a file in Attachement

    The tool prompts the status of synchronisiation as "In Sync"

    Detailed Comparision View unter Project | Sync Items | Compare view does not give users any option to sync the attachment.

    Hi Lien, 

    When it comes to synchronization, something to keep in mind is that while the links to attachments are synchronized, the content in the attachment is not -- I wonder if that's what is happening here.
