Alright @Suggy  may I know the step that you followed from POST man to reproduce the steps.

I followed these steps:

 

Suggy_0-1706966406385.pngSuggy_1-1706966423244.png

 

and got below error:

 

{
"error": {
"message": "Failed to create the attachment. File part might be missing in the request.",
"detail": null
},
"status": "failure"
}

Note: I have done entirely on my instance.....

 

So, I have reproduce your steps in my instance. 

I think you should also follow the same, I guess the version of POSTMAN you are using is not current version so just upgrade it or use the current version of Postman here is the steps that I followed.

 

Inside Body ---> Form-data ---> file (File) type.....

Authentication used : Basic 

 

Also no need to configure Header in this case rather 

 

Inside Authorization....

Also, it seems that you have taken some external post or your org might be using some  and might have came to the conclusion that it can't be done, also try to use above steps....
