Attachment file name and extension is not displaying on the confluence page body

[Affan Rashid]

I am uploading a file using node.js and axios via APIs onto my confluence page and using the following endpoint:

PUT  https://<companyname>.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/<pageID>/child/attachment

The file uploads correctly under the "Attachments" section of the page with the file name and extension (DataDictionary.txt).

I am then trying to put the file onto the main page's body and instead of showing "DataDictionary.txt" I see a random number 1990001000.

I am using the following endpoint:

PUT on https://<companyname>.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/<pageID>

with the payload:

Hello there!

That is an interesting behavior, @Affan Rashid. I was not able to replicate it, so I would like to ask you a few questions:

1. Are you uploading a new version of the attachment?
2. Are you able to set the file preview via user interface?
3. Is this affecting one specific file type or multiple ones?

I was also able to find a report about a very similar case, but it only happens when the user tries to upload a new version of the attachment. You can check it here:

• CONFCLOUD-65793 - Attaching the latest version of a file from the Attachments Page breaks the attachment name

Let us hear from you!

Hi Diego,

1. I update the version number every time I do a PUT on the following endpoint.

PUT on https://<companyname>.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/<pageID>

 I increment the version number by 1 in my code on the following payload:

2. I was able to manually upload the file using the "Files & Images" option on my page and the preview correctly shows the file as a .txt

3. I have not tried with any other file types.
