use single request field for string as well as file

Hi pb9034,

Can you please clarify how I can help you and what you want to achieve? Having an example, description, or screenshots would be helpful. 

want to use description input to be text or image according to my need as postman provides option to chose between text or file

using like this:

 content:

 *         multipart/form-data:

 *           schema:

 *             type: object

 *             properties:

 *               title:

 *                 type: string

 *                 example: sample title

 *               resource_type:

 *                 type: integer

 *                 enum: [1, 2, 3]

 *                 example: 2

 *               description:

 *                 type: string

 *                 format: binary

 *                 description: File upload for resource_type 2 or 3

 *               category_id:

 *                 type: integer

 *                 example: 1

Hello pb9034,

I see 'postman' mentioned here so I gather you are using this to test an API and need to know how to make the call correctly.  If the image you posted is the API front end, it looks like you would pass the image or audio file in as a 'blob' in a string.  Much like files are attached to emails using a Base 64 encoded string.  The resource type field would be used by the API to determine what you are sending, a text string or a binary.

Please be kind, I may be way off here.  I am not an API dev but I have done some API testing with SOAP UI and Ready API.  (I edited out my ref to Swagger, that is all we use where I work.)
