Expected Behavior
- Body with the string array variable is rendered correctly and the value is a string array, as in the envrionment
- Request is sent and returns 200, body was read correctly
Actual Behavior
- Body parameter that contained the string array variable, it is sent as a complete string, without []," or white spaces.
- Request fails this due to bad value sent because of body render
Reproduction Steps
- Create a variable in env, any env type, that is an array json
- Add the array json in a body, as whole, not just 1 element of it
- (optional) do a console log in the scripts to see the variable in console for comparison purposes
- Check console for the curl send of the body
