swagger-ui Display static documentation information for multipart properties in OpenAPI 3.0 files

Following on from https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/issues/5164, I am suggesting that for specs with multipart/form-data that we allow the main request body of the spec to show a preview of the payload, rather than leaving it blank (and appearing unrendered) like so: v3 20 3_multipart For "Try it now" feature it appears rendered correctly: v3 20 3_multipart_tryitout I am proposing something similar to the above pic, even if text areas/drop-downs appear greyed out. Attached following spec as an example which highlights what I thought was an issue, but turns out to be a feature: v3.20.2_multipart_snippet.txt Cheers, Rich

@hkosova very closely related indeed, but this is for multipart/form-data properties, which display like parameters but are not parameters 😄

Any updates? That's a bad limitation currently.

Somewhere between 3.32.5 and 3.42.0 it doesn't even display any json in the try it now textbox any more.

Multipart support seems to be lagging behind the standard quite a bit now.

Multipart is extremely useful for sending object data + file data, which is actually a fairly common scenario. This actually worked better back in 3.16.0 with the v2 spec.

Is there a roadmap to improve the multipart experience?

@jalagari at the moment I provide a sample JSON in the endpoint's description directly

Are there plans to make this happen?

Hello everyone, i made a quick fix for this issue, regarding documentation of the multipart/form properties, on my fork. https://github.com/charalarg/swagger-ui. You can see the result on the readme file.
