1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

In the workflow arrangement of the chat assistant, I need to pass a file to a third-party service through the HTTP node. I need to use form-data as the request method. I cannot transfer the file using the official sys.files. I checked the logs and there is not even a form-data parameter. In addition, if I use a custom file parameter, I can indeed transfer the file, but I cannot use the file upload function in the chat message sending bar. I can only use the file upload box provided when the chat box is initialized. However, when doing Q&A, I cannot record pictures and messages into the session record, which will be a defect when viewing the session record. Is there a plan to optimize this function?I hope the file upload of the chat send bar can pass the file to the HTTP node and send it out.
