Hi Everyone,
I am trying to upload an email (.msg Outlook-Format) as attachment via REST API (https://[myservicedesk].atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/[TICKETID]/attachments).
The Content-Type is "application/vnd.ms-outlook". I receive an error message "415 Unsupported data type".
If I upload the same file manually via the User Interface it works. If I receive this attachment via API it shows the content-type "application/vnd.ms-outlook" - so apparently it is supported by JIRA.
Thanks for your help,
Carl

If those exist, can you go to the body tab on postman under form-data, select key as a file, and value should be the file you want to upload?
