Hi everyone,

I have a question, how exactly is the asset/file uploading via form/inbox working?

I’ve created a simple form (in React) with a fetch request via the `/inbox/submit/token`-endpoint.  
Everything works and is being saved, except the file upload.  
The data is transferred via FormData as body and with a `multipart/form-data` header.

The response I’m getting back from Cockpit is an empty `attachments` array.

Do I need to give the role access to upload assets?  
Where are the assets/files uploaded?

Thanks in advance.

Best,  
Daniel
