I am currently using the Front sdk updateDraft function in the updateMode: ‘replace’ when I run it with only the subject defined, all attachments on the draft get deleted.
await sdk.updateDraft(draftId as Parameters<FrontSdk['updateDraft']>[0], {
updateMode: 'replace',
subject: subject
});This is the current code I am using.
Hi there!
Attachments are getting cleared because updateMode: 'replace' tells the SDK to overwrite the entire draft, and in that mode attachments are treated as “not specified ⇒ empty list”, which the backend interprets as “remove all attachments.”
On the server side, when a draft is updated, attachments are only modified if an attachments array is passed in the dependencies. If that array is present (even if empty), all existing attachments are replaced.
In updateMode: 'replace', the plugin SDK builds a full replacement payload for the draft. Because your call only specifies subject, the SDK ends up sending an empty attachments list for the draft, which the backend treats as “set attachments to []”, thereby removing all existing attachments.
update / merge)updateDraft in replace mode (by first reading the draft, then passing its attachments back in).Hi, thanks for the response.
How can I get the attachments list. I couldn’t find the relevant function or model value to retrieve it.
Further, in the documentation it only says there are 2 insert modes insert and replace.
Are there actually more?
