This function adds an entry to the case wall with a file attachment (that can be then downloaded from the client into the user’s local machine). The function does essentially the same thing as adding evidence (on the bottom of the case overview screen).
NOTE: To be able to upload a file to the case wall, you need to have the file available in the file system of the Siemplify server, or have it on a shared location accessible from the Siemplify server.

Here’s a usage example: 

from SiemplifyAction import SiemplifyAction
siemplify = SiemplifyAction() 
siemplify.add_attachment(r'C:/temp/investigation.txt', description='Deep investigation report b
y TIER3 team', is_favorite=True)

In this example, we will upload the “investigation.txt” from “C:/temp” on the local machine (the Siemplify server itself) to the case wall. A comment will be added to that entry on the case wall, with the string in the description. The “is_favorite” flag was set to “True”, and so this new entry will also be starred (favorite).
