How to add a link to an attachment already on the issue to a comment?

[Ofer Elyakim]

I am creating an issue and add attachments to it. I then add a comment to the issue, which includes a link to those attachments - the content element. When some of my customers try to download these attachments, they get an error (no permission). I got the same error message when I open the ticket on an incognito window.

The best answer I was able to find is this: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Linking-inline-image-to-attachment-using-API/qaq-p/1980564

However, I am creating those issues on Apex (Salesforce) not sure how to get the redirect address.

Is there any other way to get the real ID of the attachment? 

Is there a better way to add the link so it can be accessed anonymously?

Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your reply Murat,

Is there a way to add a thumbnail of an attachment that is already on the ticket to a comment via api?

My issue is not with allowing anyone to download it, it's more that if I add the 'Content' field of the attachment, it's not allowing my customers to download the attachment. They are logged in via sso)

I know how to do it manually, but i'm looking for a way to do it via api.

Thank you,

Ofer
