Attach temporary file

This method adds one or more temporary attachments to a service desk, which can then be permanently attached to a customer request using servicedeskapi/request/{issueIdOrKey}/attachment.

Note: It is possible for a service desk administrator to turn off the ability to add attachments to a service desk.

This method expects a multipart request. The media-type multipart/form-data is defined in RFC 1867. Most client libraries have classes that make dealing with multipart posts simple. For instance, in Java the Apache HTTP Components library provides MultiPartEntity.

Because this method accepts multipart/form-data, it has XSRF protection on it. This means you must submit a header of X-Atlassian-Token: no-check with the request or it will be blocked.

The name of the multipart/form-data parameter that contains the attachments must be file.

For example, to upload a file called myfile.txt in the Service Desk with ID 10001 use

curl -D- -u customer:customer -X POST -H "X-ExperimentalApi: opt-in" -H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" -F "file=@myfile.txt" https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/servicedeskapi/servicedesk/10001/attachTemporaryFile

Permissions required: Permission to add attachments in this Service Desk.
