Doubts regarding /Documents/:record/file/:field POST endpoint

Hello Aman, 

You'll need to replace the <attachment field> with the name of the field that receives the file. On Documents, it's called 'filename'.

I managed to test this Endpoint in Postman with the following settings:

Can you have a look and let me know if this works for you? 

Hello Andre,

I tried the way you suggested.

It is working fine when I first give the json payload and then pass the file in the form data, but if I construct the request with firstly passing file in form data and then passing the json, I am getting attachment missing error.

Also, Is this endpoint accepts two media types (application/json and form-data) simultaneously in one request?

One more thing is that this request is working fine even if I just provide the file in form-data and no json payload. Any idea why so?

Thanks

Hi Aman, 

If you want to get details on this or any request the best is to have a look at the file that is being used. 

On this endpoint you should have a look here: 

sugar/modules/Documents/clients/base/api/DocumentsFileApi.php

This should help you to understand what's happening when you call this endpoint.
