    Hi bdipasca,

    You can add examples for the request bodies too, but please also add a "schema":

          requestBody:
            content:
              application/json:
                schema:       # <-------
                  type: object
                examples:
                  foo:
                    value:
                      ...

     

    There's a known issue where examples cannot be rendered if "schema" isn't provided.
