pyRequestAttachmentPage does not work multipart/form-data request

General

Hi, I tried to send out a file via REST API with content type multipart/form-data

I have followed below guidance.

After Connect rule is called, the log display below:

///

…

Request attachment page detected. Attemtping to construct multipart message.

Multipart request message has been constructed.

…

///

this prove the Connect rule has detected pyRequestAttachmentPage, and then the HTTP request content is displayed in log (but no any detail data there):

------------------HTTP REQUEST CONTENTS------------------POST /snow/api/now/attachment/upload HTTP/1.1
Request Headers: {Content-Type=multipart/form-data; boundary=kOAl24jNArECZE6o3Af0bO8I5JEsdljQXt-RZ}
Request Message Data: 661 bytes to be sent

----------------END HTTP REQUEST CONTENTS----------------

however later

HTTP Status code: 400 Bad Request

------------------HTTP RESPONSE CONTENTS------------------

…

…

Response Message Data: 86 bytes received
{“error”:{“message”:“Missing parameter: table_name”,“detail”:null},“status”:“failure”}

----------------END HTTP RESPONSE CONTENTS----------------

server says Missing parameter: table_name

I have coded this param in activity for calling the Connect rule:

do you have idea what’s the possible reason?

I guess the value list are not used at all so the request content in Log does not have any params in it.

Thanks.

solved just now.

.pyAttachTypes() need set to “text/plain” for non-file fields (and leave .pyAttachFileNames() empty), so that they can be passed as parameter

for file field, .pyAttachTypes(*) set to empty and set .pyAttachFileNames to file name
