Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The ability to add and remove fields when POSTing JSON bodies to an API is only limited to key value pairs. When trying to POST data to a REST API which consumes a JSON array, I don't see a clear way to do this. The JSON body looks like this:

{
	"domains": ["google.com", "facebook.com"]
}

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to add an array as the value of a key in the JSON body.

Describe alternatives you've considered
One good solution would be having sub entries under one key-value pair in the UI.

Additional context
This is what currently happens when I try to use an array as a key-value pair in the JSON body:

And attempting to use single quotes just results in the array getting converted to a string on it's own:

@someshkar Thank you for opening the issue.

We will look into the issue ASAP.

For now, I suggest you use the Raw Input mode to edit the JSON directly.

@AndrewBastin How exactly do I access the Raw Input mode for editing the JSON directly?

key - value pairs should only be used for string types. For arrays, switch to "Raw input".
