# Group Attachments
Attachments are files that were uploaded to OpenProject. Each attachment belongs to a single
container (e.g. a work package or a board message).
## Actions
| Link | Description | Condition |
|:-------------------:|----------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------- |
| delete | Deletes this attachment | **Permission**: edit on attachment container or being the author for attachments without container |
## Linked Properties
| Link | Description | Type | Constraints | Supported operations |
|:----------------:| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | ----------- | -------------------- |
| self | This attachment | Attachment | not null | READ |
| container | The object (e.g. WorkPackage) housing the attachment| Anything | not null | READ |
| author | The user who uploaded the attachment | User | not null | READ |
| downloadLocation | Direct download link to the attachment | - | not null | READ |
## Local Properties
| Property | Description | Type | Constraints | Supported operations |
|:------------:| ----------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ----------- | -------------------- |
| id | Attachment's id | Integer | x > 0 | READ |
| title | The name of the file | String | not null | READ |
| fileName | The name of the uploaded file | String | not null | READ |
| fileSize | The size of the uploaded file in Bytes | Integer | x >= 0 | READ |
| description | A user provided description of the file | Formattable | not null | READ |
| contentType | The files MIME-Type as determined by the server | String | not null | READ |
| digest | A checksum for the files content | Digest | not null | READ |
| createdAt | Time of creation | DateTime | not null | READ |
## Attachments [/api/v3/attachments]
## Create Attachment [POST]
Clients can create attachments without a container first and attach them later on.
This is useful if the container does not exist at the time the attachment is uploaded.
After the upload, the client can then claim such containerless attachments for any resource eligible (e.g. WorkPackage) on subsequent requests.
The upload and the claiming *must* be done for the same user account. Attachments uploaded by another user cannot be claimed and
once claimed for a resource, they cannot be claimed by another.
The upload request must be of type `multipart/form-data` with exactly two parts.
The first part *must* be called `metadata`. Its content type is expected to be `application/json`,
the body *must* be a single JSON object, containing at least the `fileName` and optionally the attachments `description`.
The second part *must* be called `file`, its content type *should* match the mime type of the file.
The body *must* be the raw content of the file.
Note that a `filename` *must* be indicated in the `Content-Disposition` of this part, although it will be ignored.
Instead the `fileName` inside the JSON of the metadata part will be used.

## List attachments [GET]
+ Parameters
+ id (required, integer, `1`) ... ID of the work package whose attachments will be listed
+ Response 200 (application/hal+json)
[Attachments by work package][]
+ Response 404 (application/hal+json)
Returned if the work package does not exist or the client does not have sufficient permissions
to see it.
**Required permission:** view work package
*Note: A client without sufficient permissions shall not be able to test for the existence of a work package.

+ Body
{
"_type": "Error",
"errorIdentifier": "urn:openproject-org:api:v3:errors:NotFound",
"message": "The specified work package does not exist."
}
## Add attachment [POST]
To add an attachment to a work package, a client needs to issue a request of type `multipart/form-data`
with exactly two parts.
The first part *must* be called `metadata`. Its content type is expected to be `application/json`,
the body *must* be a single JSON object, containing at least the `fileName` and optionally the attachments `description`.
The second part *must* be called `file`, its content type *should* match the mime type of the file.
The body *must* be the raw content of the file.
Note that a `filename` must be indicated in the `Content-Disposition` of this part, however it will be ignored.
Instead the `fileName` inside the JSON of the metadata part will be used.
+ Parameters
+ id (required, integer, `1`) ... ID of the work package to receive the attachment
+ Request (multipart/form-data)
