REST Request - Add data to body of Request

Hi there,

I'm trying to setup a REST Request Test Case for a POST endpoint where I'm sending json body of the Http Request. Looking at the documentation for REST parameter types, (https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/requests/rest/types.html), I don't see a type that corresponds to the body of the request. Am I missing something? It seems like a fairly common usecase but I'm not quite sure how to set up the Request or the Data source to fit that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm a dev that came across this tool looking for a way to make it easier/faster to do testing on my endpoints.

    Hi,

    Once you have set the request type to post, click on the request tab.  There should be a panel at the bottom with the header media type.  You should then see 'application/json' in the dropdown.  Select that and past your json into the empty panel below...
