TSC.SubscriptionItem, Payload is either malformed or incomplete. (0x5CE10192 : Specifying subscription attachments not allowed.)

Hello, I'm trying to create a subscription for a user on a view. I put this piece of code, schedule_id = '60c392fc-d902-44b0-92cf-cfa3b512630f' user_id = df[0].values[i]

Create the new SubscriptionItem object with variables from above.

    new_sub = TSC.SubscriptionItem('EssaiGD', schedule_id, user_id, target)

    # (Optional) Set other fields. Any of these can be added or removed.
    new_sub.attach_image = True
    new_sub.attach_pdf = True
    new_sub.message = "You have an alert!"
    new_sub.page_orientation = TSC.PDFRequestOptions.Orientation.Portrait
    new_sub.page_size_option = TSC.PDFRequestOptions.PageType.A4
    new_sub.send_if_view_empty = True

    # Create the new subscription on the site you are logged in.
    new_sub = server.subscriptions.create(new_sub)

I launch it and when I have the error it gives me 0x5CE10192 : Specifying subscription attachments not allowed.

THanks

From the REST API documentation:

If subscriptions to attachments are disabled in Tableau server or site settings, then making a request that sets attachImage to false will cause an error.

the parameters are true and not false in my script. So when I manually create the subscription or when I use a request it works. So I don't understand why it doesn't work

What happens if you set image to True, pdf to False, and remove the pdf specific options? Try the simplest case first.

My minimally reproducible example works. edit: Also attaching image. Still works.
