Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

I need to send a WSDL request as text/xml, but that's not available from the drop-down types, so I chose application/xml and tried overriding it in the Headers section. The request is still sent as application/xml and not with the header I requested.

Steps to reproduce

create a POST request
under "body" select application/xml and paste an XML content
under "headers" add Content-Type: text/xml
send request
check Network to see that application/xml was still used as a type

Environment

Production

Version

Cloud

I'm in a similar situation.

I've just discovered Hoppscotch but the first test was for getting an AWS Cognito token.

For that purpose I need to send a Content-Type: application/x-amz-json-1.1.
Sadly Hoppsotch overrides my header with the on the Body tab (In my case Content-Type: application/json so I get a Cognito error:

{
  "Output": {
    "__type": "com.amazon.coral.service#UnknownOperationException"
  },
  "Version": "1.0"
}

Is this considered a high priority bug to solve or I better get back to Postman and come back in a few weeks/months?

Thank you in advance for the attention :)

I also met this issue.

In my case, I want to send with header Content-Type: application/merge-patch+json, but this header will be overwritten with the header in Body section.
