I don't think that copying the attachments too should be the default behaviour.
#3 Updated by Eric Davis about 4 years ago
-1 I agree with Jean-Philippe Lang. Attachments might be about an issue note which should not copied with the issue.
#4 Updated by Michael Litton about 4 years ago
Should it at least not be an option (checkbox)?
#5 Updated by Arseny Silvestrov about 4 years ago
I faced the same issue just now while copying an issue with lots of images attached.
There were images inserted into description via 
reference and they didn't get copied. And they probably should have to, because they are used in description.
New descriptions after copying still have the reference , but images are not shown because they are attachments and were not copied.
I think every attachment used in description, e.g. images, should be copied by default.

Sorry, forgot to preview.
Where I wrote reference it means
reference !name.jpg!

Any progress here? You should be able to copy the files!

I agree that it should be an option to be able to copy attachments (and notes).
We lose lot of information without the attachments and we lose lot of time re-uploading the attachments.

"COPY" should default copy "all data", or even aks what to copy if all ins't copied.

Duplicate doesn't duplicate attached files as well some it should!

Besides that is a bug not a feature, cause copy shall copy all content. Only the issue id is new, all other data is copied complete.

Not sure why there is two options: copy and duplicate. My expectation is that at least one of those copies all comments and attachments.
An example work flow is that we have an app across multiple mobile platforms (ios, android, blackberry) and to keep feature parity we open separate tickets for a feature for each platform. It is a big pain to have to keep remembering to attach screenshots to the copied tickets.
