Description

Identifies additional extended item properties to return in a response to a GetAttachment request. This element is optional.

AttachmentIds

Contains an array of attachment identifiers.

Remarks

The AttachmentShape element is not required to identify the properties returned in the response. The GetAttachment Operation returns the Name, ContentType, ContentId, ContentLocation, and the Content properties for file attachments. For item attachments, the returned properties are the Name, ContentType, ContentId, ContentLocation, and all the attached item’s properties. This is equivalent to using the AllProperties base shape in a GetItem request.
