When saving a comment with an attachment,please provide the proper payload and how to resolve issue?

API : yourdomain/3/issue/abc-123/comment

{ "body": { "type": "doc", "version": 1, "content": [ { "type": "paragraph", "content": [ { "text": "test comment with attchment", "type": "text" } ] }, { "type": "mediaSingle", "attrs": { "layout": "center" }, "content": [ { "type": "media", "attrs": { "id": "113562", "type": "file", "collection": "attachment" } } ] } ] } }

"{\"errorMessages\":[\"ATTACHMENT_VALIDATION_ERROR\"],\"errors\":{}}"

issue/{issueId}/comment

Hi @Laxman Khokhar ,

The payload structure is correct, but the catch here is that the attachment ID it requires is not what we expect - this ID needs to be looked up via the Media API, and this can be quite tricky, but here's a post on this if you're interested.

Alternatively, an easier way would be to insert the attachment as an external URL instead (outlined here), where we can use the "regular" Jira attachment ID. I've tested this and seems to work fine!

{
    "body": {
        "type": "doc",
        "version": 1,
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "mediaSingle",
                "content": [
                    {
                        "type": "media",
                        "attrs": {
                            "type": "external",
                            "url": "https://<instance-name>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/attachment/content/10000"
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

{ "body": { "type": "doc", "version": 1, "content": [ { "type": "paragraph", "content": [ { "type": "text", "text": "Test comment" } ] }, { "type": "mediaSingle", "content": [ { "type": "media", "attrs": { "id": "113844", "type": "external" } } ] } ] } }

i m passing above json payload to save comment and give a error  {"errorMessages":["INVALID_INPUT"],"errors":{}} how to resolve this issue and anything else from my end in header in passing?

Hi @Laxman Khokhar ,

From the latest payload you provided, it looks like you're still passing in the "id" directly, but it should be a "url" attribute. The attrs object should be as follows:

"attrs": {
  "type": "external",
  "url": "https://<instance-name>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/attachment/content/<Jira-Attachment-ID>"
}

As for the headers, the docs example includes these two:

Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

{

  "body": {

    "type": "doc",

    "version": 1,

    "content": [

      {

        "type": "paragraph",

        "content": [

          {

            "type": "text",

            "text": "Here is an attachment:"

          },

          {

            "type": "media",

            "attrs": {

                "type": "external",

                "url": "https://mydomain/rest/api/3/attachment/content/113878"

            }

          }

        ]

      }

    ]

  }

}

i am passing above payload but give me error and try many way but not did any solution. 

Error : 

{

    "errorMessages": [

        "INVALID_INPUT"

    ],

    "errors": {}

}
