[FIXED] testing upload file api with postman

Issue

I created a restful api to upload a file to an external web service, but I need to send some kind of data in this request to, here is an example of the request :

"file" : <MultiPartFile>,
"data" : {...}

I mapped this request to this class :

@Data
class UploadFileRequest{
   private MultiPartFile file;
   private Data data;
}

here is the api :

@PostMapping
String uploadFile(@RequestBody UploadFileRequest input){
     return service.uploadFile(input.getFile(), input.getData());
}

I want to know how to send this kind of request.

If you navigate to my example you're simply going to find this:
