How to add attachment to JIRA subtask using JIRA API?

Question

I am creating JIRA Subtask using the below in POSTMAN:

URL:https://<host>/rest/api/2/issue/

{
"fields":
{
"project":
{
"key": Test"
},
"parent":
{
"key": "Test-123"
},
"summary": "Sub-task of Test-123",
"description": "Don't forget to do this too.",
"issuetype":
{
"id": "5"
}
}
}

In the response "key" is generated.

Using the above "key" how do I add attachments to the above subtask created?

what will be the request format?

I believe this is not possible. If you want to have a more dynamic behavior, you could script it outside of postman. But you still need to send the request as form data.

Hi Matthias Gaiser

I meant how to achieve via RAW text or Json not in form data request, because the image which is uploaded is dynamic.The image and txt file is stored in my local.

Hi @Nitin Mane,

What do you mean with key value format?

According to the Atlassian docs, you have to send the http request as a multipart/form-data request. And the name of the multipart/form-data parameter that contains the attachments must be file.

I don't think Postman has a more dynamic behaviour for that - but maybe someone else knows more.

Cheers,
Matthias.
