In the developer docs ([https://developer.servicem8.com/docs/attaching-files-to-a-job-diary](https://developer.servicem8.com/docs/attaching-files-to-a-job-diary)) for adding attachments to jobs via the API, should the endpoint for submitting the attachment data be POST [https://api.servicem8.com/api\_1.0/Attachment/2404fbd2-cff6-4222-86b4-54a6ea4dbb8b.json](https://api.servicem8.com/api_1.0/Attachment/2404fbd2-cff6-4222-86b4-54a6ea4dbb8b.json) instead of POST [https://api.servicem8.com/api\_1.0/Attachment/2404fbd2-cff6-4222-86b4-54a6ea4dbb8b.file](https://api.servicem8.com/api_1.0/Attachment/2404fbd2-cff6-4222-86b4-54a6ea4dbb8b.file) ? (IE .json instead of .file)

The docs for attaching files indicate it should be .json → [https://developer.servicem8.com/reference/post-attachment-single](https://developer.servicem8.com/reference/post-attachment-single)
