Sugesstion: add images on schedule task to show user instructions

[Łukasz Modzelewski]

Currently it is not possible to add attachments to the issue, but ...

There is a workaround:

You can use embedded images in issue details with "!" around the image URL:

!https://marketplace-cdn.atlassian.com/files/images/ff0d0609-486d-4f64-a0da-ec6c1bafaea3.png! (link to logo of The Scheduler)

Reference: https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=images&_ga=2.139913267.184049494.1518416148-1320616385.1499098623

Using this technique you can link to some external resources, downside is that if you change the image in its location it will be changed in all of the issues.

To make images unique you can use our predefined variables (e.g. ${fireCount} ) and modify the url to the image so it would change with each execution of Scheduled Issue:

"!..../image${fireCount}.jpg!"

With each execution it would produce links to different images (remember to have those prepared):

"!..../image1.jpg!"

"!..../image2.jpg!"

"!..../image3.jpg!"
