I am getting following error while sending attachment to created issue on JIRA.

org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was foundjava.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found
I am making an ajax call to send this attachment as multipart-data.

var blob = canvasImageDataUrl
var fd = new FormData();
fd.append("file", blob,"ss_"+issueKeyid+".png");

$.ajax({
url: "https://"+jiraUrl+"/rest/api/2/issue/"+issueKeyid+"/attachments",
type: 'POST', 
data: fd,
processData: false,
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader ("X-Atlassian-Token", "no-check");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data");
xhr.setRequestHeader("charset", "UTF-8");
},
success: function(data) {
alert("issue created");

},
error:function(data){
console.log(data);
},
complete:function(xhr,status){
console.log(xhr);
}
});

It’s imperative that you set the contentType option to false, forcing jQuery not to add a Content-Type header for you, otherwise, the boundary string will be missing from it. Also, you must leave the processData flag set to false, otherwise, jQuery will try to convert your FormData into a string, which will fail.
