Nodejs create_ticket_multiple_attachments.js does not work when trying to attach file

[blazejkroll]

Seems like the
.attach('attachments[]', fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file1.ext'))
creates an error in my reqeuest. I got a 400 response with complains about some fields which are set:

{ description: 'Validation failed', errors:  [ { field: 'description', message: 'It should be a/an String', code: 'missing_field' }, { field: 'status', message: 'It should be one of these values: \'2,3,4,5,6,7\'', code: 'missing_field' }, { field: 'subject', message: 'It should be a/an String', code: 'missing_field' }, { field: 'priority', message: 'It should be one of these values: \'1,2,3,4\'', code: 'missing_field' }, { field: 'requester_id', message: 'Please fill at least 1 of requester_id, phone, email, twitter_id, facebook_id fields', code: 'missing_field' }, { field: 'type', message: 'It should be one of these values: \'Question,Problem,Feature Request,Praise,Complain\'', code: 'missing_field' } ] }

When I comment out all the .attach lines the ticket is created correctly. The files are present in the path.

My unirest request looks like this:

Hi,
I hope you are using this sample to make an API request.

I tried the same sample and was able to make an API request. Can you provide your sample code?

I get the same issue with PHP, attaching a file, with a custom header for 'Content-type: multipart/form-data' results in all ticket fields reported as missing, even though they're in the same data array as 'attachments[]'
