This workflow reminds users to add an attachment to an issue if an attachment is mentioned in a description or comment.

| Name | @jetbrains/youtrack-workflow-forgotten-attachment |
| Auto-attached | no |
| Rules |      * Check description for reference to attachment (on-change)    * Check comment for reference to attachment (on-change)    * attach-file-utils (custom script)    |

## Use Case

This workflow helps to make sure that users remember to attach a file to an issue when they reference an attachment in a description or comment.

## Rules

This workflow contains two modules that can be attached as rules to a project and a third module that contains a custom script. This script contains common functions that are used in both rules.

| Title | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Check description for reference to attachment | This rule scans the description for references to an attachment. If a reference is found, the user is reminded to attach a file to the issue.    |
| Check comment for reference to attachment | This rule scans new comments for references to an attachment. If a reference is found, the user is reminded to attach a file to the issue.    |
| attach-file-utils.js | This module contains the code that both rules use to determine whether a description or comment contains a reference to attachment. This script also contains the code that displays the message to the user.    |
