Notifications should be sent only after attachment is uploaded

...or after a certain timeout if the user doesn't go through with uploading it.

Otherwise, especially if it may take a long time to upload the attachment, a notified user may view the ticket in a half baked state.

Replying to anonymous:

Notification are synchronous with web requests, so there is no way a time out can be used.

I think this could be considered as a potential duplicate of another ticket: #2259, which requests that a notification is emitted when a file is attached to a ticket.

I'm not sure that delaying the first notification to the attachment completion is reliable enough, I would therefore vote for "duplicate" here.

There's no notification sent after an attachment upload (that would be feature request #2259), so I assume you're talking about ticket creation notification.

A ticket gets created right away, even if you select the I have files to attach to this ticket checkbox. By doing that, you simply go automatically to the create attachment page after the ticket has been created, and there's no way we could delay the ticket creation notification to after that second step, which is not bound to ever complete.
