Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Solve the problem of making requests that require a file to be uploaded

Describe the solution you'd like
Enable file upload in the body of the POST request.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.

Additional context
This is something that should be there since many api developers have endpoints where it is necessary to upload a file or several files in the request.

I have seen that this problem is since 2019 and they have not implemented it yet.

This feature has been implemented.

Select POST method.
Choose Content Type as multipart/form-data from request section.
An "Attatch file icon" (📎) will appear near to Body Parameter's value field. Click on it to add files to request formData.
Click "Send".

How do I send text fields with an image field using multipart/form-data

I am using multer in express js
This is the request I am making using Hoppscotch
The image field is optional, if I don't send it I am getting "Unexpected end of form" error, this is not the case in Postman, if I uncheck image field then it is not giving any errors in postman
Also I am sending some text fields in the above request, which is not reaching backend, the req.body object is empty
This is not the case in postman, I am receiving all text fields in req.body

So overall I have 2 issues

Getting "Unexpected end of form" error when not sending file field
Can not send text fields together with field field in multipart/form-data
