multipart/form-data settings overriding in API Management

Question

APIM removing some of the properties from the specification automatically.

Below one is my request body :

"requestBody": {
                    "description": "Request payload in multipart/form-data format",
                    "content": {
                        "multipart/form-data": {
                            "schema": {
                                "type" : "object",
                                "properties": {
                                    "document": {
                                        "type": "string",
                                        "format" : "binary"
                                    },
                                    "sampleID": {
                                        "type": "string"
                                    },
                                    "notes": {
                                        "type": "string"
                                    }
                                }
                            },
                            "example": {
                                "sampleID": "61399",
                                "notes": "document",
                                "document": "file content"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                },

After saving, APIM removing the binary format and type :

"requestBody": {
                    "description": "Request payload in multipart/form-data format",
                    "content": {
                        "multipart/form-data": {
                            "schema": {
                                "properties": {
                                    "document": {
                                        "type": "string"
                                    },
                                    "sampleID": {
                                        "type": "string"
                                    },
                                    "notes": {
                                        "type": "string"
                                    }
                                }
                            },
                            "example": {
                                "sampleID": "61399",
                                "notes": "document",
                                "document": "file content"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                },

Could you please check and let me know why this is happening? And workaround for this?
