Update a jira workitem with embedded image in description using rest api.

Question

I want to update a jira workitem with embedded image in description using rest api. As part of this, when ever there is a request to create a workitem with embedded image, I am first uploading the attachment and then providing the link of attachment in the description. But, I get an error "Can only create thumbnails for attached images", in the response of GetWorkItem

You can try to provide the filename of the image(which is present in the attachments section) in the description in a specific format something like this

"fields": {"description": "!Screenshot 2023-05-23 173923.png!"}
