Attaching source files to external issues

You can attach source files to issues in the issue tracking tool you have integrated with Surround SCM. The file information is attached to the issue, making it easy to work with the file from Surround SCM or the issue tracking tool.

You can also attach source files to issues when you add files, check in files, promote or rebase files and branches, or view file history. If the files you want to attach are included in a changelist, you can attach the changelist to issues from the Changelists dialog box. See Managing changelists.

1. Select the files or repository and choose Activities > Attach to Issue Tracking Tool.

If you want to select the files to attach by label, choose Tools > Labels, select the label, and click Attach. Ctrl+click the files you want to attach in the Select Files to Attach dialog box and click Attach.
