[jira][attachments] Is it possible to mark attachments as obsolete?

[Alexey Petrenko <al...@gmail.com>]

Is it possible to configure JIRA to let people to mark issue
attachments as obsolete? Like in Bugzilla?
This is very useful feature when issue has few iterations of the fix.

I agree #2.  We can always fix #1.

Maybe then someone just writes down best practices somewhere.

1. Not all the JIRA users can delete attachements.
2. Sometimes history is good.

I wonder if there is any harm in deleting them?

I'm using "All" issue view. It shows all the comments and attachment
in time ordered way...

This helps. But marking attachments as obsolete will be better :)

You can always click on "All" tab to see not only comments, but status 
and field changes, attached patches, etc. To find the correct patch 
among patches with the same name just use the last which was attached.

I prefer to name the updated patch "some.patch_updated" (if the name
of the original patch was "some.patch"). I am always puzzled when I
see two identical names in attachments.

Trick: upload the file with exactly the same name,
then the latest one will be marked as "latest" (in mouse-over baloon),
and earlier versions will be shown in gray.

I use this trick for some time. However, I've seen cases when other contributors
ignored "gray" color of the attachment and reviewed/tested/committed
incorrect patch. So, probably, some care from the reviewers/committers is also needed.
