The /attachments edge not returning attachments

[djmrky]

Hi, I have a strange issue.

I have 2 workplace posts in the same group, one next to another and they both contain some images.
The API returns images as attachments for one post, but not for the other one.

What could be the reason for that?

Thanks

Is there any chance that the one with no attachments had its content pasted as rich media, and it's actually HTML that links to an external image?

All my Workplace posts are returning as MARKDOWN text, not HTML, there are no embedded images
The post that does not return the attachments on the "/attachments" edge looks like this:

And the post that returns the attachemtns correctly looks like this:

The only difference I've found is the "type" attribute
On the one that fails, the type is "album" and the one that returns the attahcments has "photo" for the "type" atrribute.

But I have no idea is there another endpoint to get this "album".
The Workplace group has the "/albums" edge, but nothing is returned there for my group
The message itself does not have the "/albums" edge

Ok, I've actually found a reason why the images from the post are not returned by the API.

If I create a post and just copy/paste some images (not file upload), they show up as Attachments in the API.

However, if I use this option

and choose a picture from file, this does not come back in the /attachments edge.

I have no idea how to get this image url via the API, this is not documented at all

@djmrky thanks for the additional info, it helps us to investigate. Confirming I've also tested the group post API and not found a solution to retrieving this content. I've asked our API team to investigate if there's a known solution, and I'll circle back here with anything I learn.

Any news on this?
