#### It get consumed but the attachment column didn’t update.

#### ```ts

#### import {Api} from ‘nocodb-sdk’;

#### …

#### nocoDbApi = new Api({

#### baseUrl: ‘[https://example.com/](https://example.com/)’,

#### headers: {

#### ‘xc-token’: ‘someToken’

#### }

#### });

#### …

#### await nocoDbApi.dbTableRow.update(

#### ‘noco’,

#### ‘someProject’,

#### ‘someTable’,

#### ‘someID’,

#### {

#### ‘someAttachmentColumn’: [

#### {

#### url: `https://example.com/someimage.png`,

#### mimetype: ‘image/png’,

#### }

#### ]

#### });

#### ```

#### You need to pass it as JSON string

#### 

#### ```javascript

#### import {Api} from ‘nocodb-sdk’;

#### …

#### nocoDbApi = new Api({

#### baseUrl: ‘[https://example.com/](https://example.com/)’,

#### headers: {

#### ‘xc-token’: ‘someToken’

#### }

#### });

#### …

#### await nocoDbApi.dbTableRow.update(

#### ‘noco’,

#### ‘someProject’,

#### ‘someTable’,

#### ‘someID’,

#### {

#### ‘someAttachmentColumn’: `[

#### {

#### “url”: “[https://example.com/someimage.png](https://example.com/someimage.png)”,

#### “mimetype”: “image/png”,

#### }

#### ]`

#### });```
