Hi, I have this issue with api testing that seems weird. I have a web api that will receive image files and texts, please see below. ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/hi/gdyxwha1u3ld.png "Image: https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/hi/gdyxwha1u3ld.png") ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/u1/8var9gfivxpi.png "Image: https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/u1/8var9gfivxpi.png") ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/91/9djn4726if7b.png "Image: https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/91/9djn4726if7b.png") Basically, it will upload the image files and save texts in the database. Now, when I Test Request this using Katalon Studio it will always return this error message: ```auto { "message":"The given data was invalid.", "errors":{ "assets":[ "The assets field is required."], "text":[ "The text field is required."] } } ``` But in other REST client it works just fine. Also, when I changed the “assets” & “text” to not of an array type, it still returns the same error in Katalon Studio but with other REST client tool, it returns the right message like “Expecting array for assets field”, etc. That is why I concluded that maybe the form data were not used. Is there something that I missed with this like some sort of configuration in Katalon? I am actually new to Katalon Studio so really need your help resolving this issue. Thank you very much. Regards.
