Description

Redmine does not have ability to add file attachments via 'notes edit'.

If I edit the issue, save it, and forgot to add attachment, I cannot edit issue and add it later.

The main reason for it in my case - We can add print screens to Issues, and there are no problem with issue edit. But when I edit notes - I cannot add print screen, as they request new file attachment to be added to issue itself.

Edit issue only for this, is way an overhead.

With this patch when editing a note new attachments can be added the same way as with editing issues:

Existing note on issue page:

Same note while editing it:

After pasting an image from the clipboard:

After saving the note:

When saving the note/journal the issue is automatically updated with the attachments, but the issue page isn't immediately reflecting that, here you see the saved note with the image (showing black text "test" on white background), but the issue doesn't show any attachments yet:

Only after a manual browser refresh the issue shows the new attachment(s):
