question on syntax of file parameter of Add attachment API on Jira Cloud

[Jay Keck]

I'm able to add an attachment to jira cloud from my Windows folder, which is great. But in terms of where the file can be located, it seems that I always have to use syntax of @filename, with no ability to specify a path name, so it seems to come from my current folder, not ideal. I've tried @c:/path/filename, @c:\path\filename, @/c:/path/filename, and all of these surrounded by {} and "", but no luck I get a https 405 error on all of these.

Is there a way to specify a Windows path in the add attachment API? Also what does the @ represent, 'current folder' or something else

Thanks,

Jay

Hi @Jay Keck ,

Just a wild guess that I cannot try since I don't have windows, but, have you tried escaping the backslash?

e.g. @c:\\path\\filename

Can you try and let me know if this works?

Cheers,
Dario
