option for setting the type of body param

[celestialcato]

I have checked the following:

• I've searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

Describe the feature you want to add

There should be an ability to select in which type the body parameters are being sent. Currently all stored environment variables are sent as strings which the API backend might not accept.

Mockups or Images of the feature

A simple selection menu for each body param and ideally for each environment variable would solve the proplem.

What body type are you referring to for this?

[celestialcato]

Here's what I mean:

as you can see the server expects the values in multipart form body of the request to be sent according to the type that it expects.

the variable SAMPLE_USER_ID was set in environment variables and when it's retrieved to be sent in the request body, it's interpreted as a string.

having the option to set the type of sent body parameters in environment variables and directly for each body parameter would help a lot.

I am pretty sure multipart/form-data bodies only support strings and files. That is not something Bruno can fix.

[celestialcato]

oh well I looked at a couple of other http clients and guess you're right, however this issue only happens for me with saved environment variables. It seems so that when sending the request Bruno wraps whatever is inside environment variables in what I assume is double quotation marks which causes the server to interpret them as strings. This won't happen however when the value is given directly without the use of variables:

I understand now.

It's happening because Bruno does not yet replace variables in multipart/form-data. Bruno sends {{SAMPLE_USER_ID}} not 1.
