create issue with attachment visible to Jira Portal with REST API

Question

I am trying to create new issue using JIRA Portal with REST API with attachment. However, when I try to create issue with following command:

issue_dict = {
'project': {'key': 'TF'},
'summary': 'T***************ı',
'description': '',
'issuetype': {'name': 'O*****a'},
'customfield_10024':[{'name': x }],
'attachment':'C:\Users\***************************\T***********ri.pdf'

I get following error:

response text = {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"attachment":"Field does not support update 'attachment'"}}

On the other hand, when I create  without attachment part on dict above, attachment cannot be seen in customer portal but I see in issue screen.

Is it possible to add attachment via REST API that is visible in portal?

I don't know if you got an answer to this question. The reason it can't be seen on the Portal is that you need to add a comment that includes a link to the attachment. The comment needs to have something like:

See [^<filename>]

The problem is it cannot be seen in JIRA Portal, whilst, it is in the issue screen

Hi Nihad

Look at the answer by Jeff Caron in this. It's for C# and works for me.

Essentially you need to create the issue without an attachment, then knowing the issue key, you add an attachment to it.

Hope this helps
