How can I create an attachment from script?

[Joey Wan Kenobi]

Does SN offer any API to create an attachment?  I've used the following:

var gsa = new GlideSysAttachment(); var attachmentId = sa.write(gr, "fileName.txt", 'text/plain', "some data");

This works fine for creating text files. It doesn't work when trying to create a pdf, doc or docx file. Is there a way to do so?

Hi,

This looks like it's the same problem as discussed in Any get GlideSysAttachment.write to work for binary files while in a scope?

Perhaps if you have access to an Istanbul instance you can see if it's been fixed as describe in the thread above.

Kind regards,

Phonsie
