1. Perform Odata API Upsert/Insert Operation using SFOdata.Attachment entity

2. See error when upserting/insert xx.docx, xx.doc file or fileContent string.

For MS Word document type attachment converted to base64 string

If the fileName is xxx.doc or xxx.docx, but the file content not a MS Word document, for example, a string or text file was instead converted to base64. Insert/Upsert/Update operation of API will not succeed.

Before 1711 release, the attachment can be inserted.
Since 1711 release, the attachment cannot be inserted because of the type and content check.

Ensure that the data in 'fileContent' field of the request payload is a valid base64 encoded string of a xx.doc or xx.docx file.
