Attachment Object

Applies to QAComplete 14.3, last modified on February 19, 2024
Since release 10.2, this functionality is obsolete and is supported for backward compatibility only. We recommend that you use QAComplete REST API to access and manage data in QAComplete.

An Attachment object represents a file or link attached to an item (a defect, contact, and so on) in QAComplete. An attachment can be:

  • A file
  • A URL, for example, http://smartbear.com
  • A UNC path, for example, file:///\\server\shared\screenshots.zip.

Using the API, you can get a list of attachments, download, add, and delete attachments. To do this, the authenticating user must have the Read, Add, Update, and Delete privileges for the items list screen (Releases, Defects and so on) that contains the attachments. You can view or set access privileges in  > Setup > Security > Security Groups > Manage Security Rights > select user group.
