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"
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}
