While uploading an attachment can I set creator /created by user information using an API?

Question

Hi,

I am working on an integration b/w Confluence and internal tool where I have a provision to upload attachments in the tool.

The use case is to add those attachments in a set confluence page as soon as they are uploaded in the tool by a user but at the same time keeping the creator name of the attachment intact. It should be set to the user name who has uploaded the files in the tool.

My current understanding is the creator field in confluence is non-editable and no such API is available. Please advise if there is a provision to customize created by/creator field value. Thanks!

None that I know of. I think if the API doesn't exist then you can't basically do it.

Hello Prince,

Thanks for your comments.

Are there any suggestions/alternatives  that you might be aware of to achieve this use case?

Hi @Vivek

Welcome to the community! I don't think those attributes can be changed with the API yet.
