POST Gift Attachment API Endpoint Bug/Error and Question
Hi,
I am using the PowerAutomate to create a gift attachment to to a gift record and is encountering this error:

In the API endpoint reference, only the file_id and thumbnail_id is having a 36 characters limit. The file_name field does not mention there is a character limit. Is it a coding oversight where file_name is also checked for the 36 characters limit?
If file_name also has a 36 characters limit, please update the endpoint reference to have that info.
Separate question, if a gift record in RE was attached a physical attachment using the API, IF the gift record is deleted using database view gift delete function (File > Delete on the Gift record menu). Does the database view's gift delete function knows to delete the physical gift attachment on the gift (which is ONLY a webview concept)? Will I need to keep track of gift attachment ID and delete using the DELETE gift attachment endpoint?

@Jackie Gerry
I just have to limit the file name's length to be under 36, as BB did not response to this post nor update any documentation.@Heather McLean is this something you can follow up on?

@Alex Wong, @Jackie Gerry - thank you for bringing this to our attention. There is an underlying SKY API issue that has to be addressed by multiple teams. I have flagged this as a BUG and the teams should be picking up this work shortly to address it.

@Alex Wong and @Jackie Gerry - The documentation now references the max file name length. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however, we will need to push an update the Connector to reflect the change. We will make updates to it soon, as we are also bundling some other fixes/ updates at the same time.
