We’re trying to create sub-tickets (*not actual “Child Tickets*) via an API call, but we need to be able to transfer attachments from the main ticket to them (they generally only have one attachment).

When I attempt to put the attachment section from the JSON of the parent ticket into the creation payload, I get a Validation Failed on attachments field of datatype_mismatch with message “It should be of type valid file format”.

Here’s the payload I’m putting into my POST to /api/v2/tickets

{
"email": "REDACTED@redacted.org",
"status": 2,
"priority": 1,
"source": 1,
"subject": "Child Vaya Onboarding Test",

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
