However, we want to take this a step further... We will like to add an attachment to this issue, either via:

OR

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

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.
