"Name" for bitstream in Dspace when added through API is null?

Question

I am trying to add a bitstream to an Item through Postman.When I post , I chose body as "form-data" and added a key as "file" and selected a file.In addition to it I have given key as "name" and value as the file name. It is getting successfully added to the Item but the name is null.

Please tell us, what version of DSpace you are using. – MartinW Jan 24 '20 at 14:57 — MartinW, Jan 24 '20 at 14:57

I assume you use DSpace 6.

First: Make sure you are logged in. Get the JSESSIONID cookie by calling

Post: http://yourserver.com/rest/login

with Query Params email and password

Then: Post the Bitstream like this

Post: http://yourserver.com/rest/items/your-item-id/bitstreams

Add the file under Body and select binary:

Set filename and description as Query Params:

Hit send.
