Without an example it's hard to tell why it doesn't work. The initial
guess is it's because you might have fetched attachments as stubs and
not their full body.
For example by default fetching a doc we might get:
"_attachments": {
"att1": {
"content_type": "application/json",
"digest": "md5-Ghxmlil8kHHM0/6YedoKwQ==",
"length": 10,
"revpos": 3,
"stub": true
}
}
Notice how that doesn't contain any attachment data. But if you use
attachments=true you do get them
"_attachments": {
"att1": {
"content_type": "application/json",
"revpos": 3,
"digest": "md5-Ghxmlil8kHHM0/6YedoKwQ==",
"data": "eyJjIjogImQifQ=="
}
}
So make sure to use the second form if you intend to clone the
document with all of its attachments
