I never did multipart file upload via jQuery and I guess it's restricted by due to security reasons. Please debug your request to check if files are actually send.

Please consider doing this via html form.

Hi Volodymyr,

I looked to curl command  but

my point is to use JQUERY to get this job done.

Here is my code:

var formdata = new FormData();
 formdata.append('tasks', "C:\01-Rosana-Protocol\NOV-2016\Tasks10.txt");
 formdata.append('tabs', "C:\01-Rosana-Protocol\NOV-2016\chroom tabs10.txt");
 _.forEach(formdata.entries(), function (value, key) {
 console.log(key);
 });
 for (var k in formdata.entries()){
 console.log(k[0]+ ', ' + k[1])
 }

$.support.cors = true;
 $.ajax({
 type: "POST",
 url: "http://Mvclkpro01d.corp.toronto.ca:8080/rest/api/2/issue/CCOPS-50/attachments",
 data: formdata,
 contentType: false,
 processData: false,
 headers: {
 "X-Atlassian-Token": "nocheck"
 },

// contentType: "multipart/form-data; boundary=HereGoes",
 contentType: "multipart/form-data",
 success: function (data, status, req) {
 alert("Data Loaded : " + data);
 },
 error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
 alert('responseText ' + jqXHR.responseText);
 alert('error in uploading:: ' + errorThrown);
 }
 });//Ajax
 });//click

After executing this AJAX call I got nothing uploaded into JIRA isssue

Thanks for your help
