Hi,

what I was able to achieve is below:

1) Use Attachment API to create file -> it would create an attachment record in sys_attachment table

POST: Upload an attachment from a binary request

Gave table name as ZZ_YYtable_name; in your case it would be ZZ_YYdmn_demand

Gave the table_sys_id -> record sys_id

file name -> you want

Request body -> attachment data

2) now you will have to populate the attachment sys_id from step 1 in the field which is of type File Attachment on that record; once you update that field with that sys_id it should start showing

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

How do you create an attachment record at first if it's asking for a sys_id in the request? Which operation did you use? thank you
