Bug Description

I was attempting to call a POST API that requires multiple standard field parameters and a MultipartFile file field. However, the API call failed to retrieve any of the required parameters.
hoppscotch interface configuration:

Code for receiving parameters in the interface:

The framework utilizes Spring Boot. However, we observed that this parameter handling method fails to work with multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencode formats. The only viable approach is to append the parameter value in the format after the URL, which is supported by Postman.

Deployment Type

Hoppscotch Cloud

Version

Version 25.9.1 (20251001.065947)

Hi, there is a known issue with file uploads related to https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/5443. We've a fix - https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/pull/5512 up addressing this, scheduled for the upcoming major release. In the meantime, it is recommended to opt out of the Experimental scripting sandbox via Settings > Experiments.
Please keep track of the same in the above issue.

However, we observed that this parameter handling method fails to work with multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencode formats

Could you elaborate on this and help with the steps to reproduce?

My project utilizes the springboot-2.1.13.release framework, with Java interfaces as shown in the diagram. Unlike single-file upload implementations, I've defined a Java object to receive parameters from the frontend. However, my interface requires not only file stream objects but also other fields. For GET-type interfaces, parameters can be appended to URLs in the format "a1=aaa&b1=bbb" – a method that has been successfully tested with hopsscotch. But since my interface uses POST method, I expect to receive parameters as object structures. Unfortunately, hopsscotch cannot handle this format. Interestingly, the same POSTMAN form-data format works perfectly. Could we possibly adopt POSTMAN's approach here?

Add a Postman parameter configuration diagram

I'm having the same problem when I look at browser requests and curl commands, and it seems that hoppscopch doesn't generate boundaries to separate files when passing them.
