Is there a way to create a Scripted Rest API to receive and process multipart/form-data?

[gcm1]

I am attempting to develop a custom Scripted REST API that can handle POST requests with a content-type of multipart/form-data within a scoped application. However, everything I have tried either results in an error or leads to this issue:

{ "error": { "message": "com.glide.rest.domain.ServiceException: Server error: attempted to access operations that are not allowed when request content is multipart/form-data", "detail": "" }, "status": "failure" }

or this issue:

{

"error": {

"message": "com.glide.rest.domain.ServiceException: Server error: attempted to access operations that are not allowed when request content is multipart/form-data; boundary=--------------------------443473985528007832469733",

"detail": ""

},

"status": "failure"

}

I don't want to use the OOB attachment API because I need to return custom response for the customer and also handle the form fields according.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there seems to be a trend of that type having problems within the platform. Have you reviewed this thread/conversation to see if that assists you?

Also this which helps sort of talk about how to use "other" methods: https://snprotips.com/blog/2019/11/18/handling-textplain-and-other-unsupported-content-types-in-scri...
