    So, you need to remove the double quotes covering the name attribute. There are several ways to do this,

    1) If you are Pro (Ready! API) users, you can capture the formatted request through SoapUI's event listeners and edit the request through Groovy Script. Don't worry if you are an open source users! There is a workaround to do the same using the method mentioned by nmrao in the thread - http://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/How-to-add-addtional-HTTP-header-to-all-the-Rest-Requests/m-p/108768#U108768

    2) [EASY WAY] Track the request sent by SoapUI using any of the HTTP debugger tools like Fiddler, Burp Suite, HTTP Watch etc and recompose the request by removing the quotes covering name attribute.

     

    Hope this helps!

Just a comment regarding #2. That works only for manually testing using soapUI. Does not be of help for automated testing.

nmrao: The name header would be an auto generated in SoapUI when we pass corresponding value in any multipart attachments. Yes! I agree the method #2 would not give helping hand while automation, but if the user prefers Fiddler, there is a light of possibility through their scripting method to to do a partial automation.
