Unable to edit the openAPI specification for multipart/form-data for documentation

Question

Hi, I have an API that use the multipart/form-data request, but I can't edit it in openAPI Specification. Is it not supported yet? or Is it possible to create a definition for a sample request, using multipart/form-data?
I need it to give an example request in the developer portal.

This is how I define the request for multipart/form-data

And this is what shown if I try to edit it with OpenAPI specification

Hello @andrie - Yes, unfortunately, multipart form-data is not supported at this time in the APIM dev portal: https://github.com/Azure/api-management-developer-portal/issues/316

With that said, it looks like the API operations themselves will work when OpenAPI v3 spec is used to import the definitions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63143532/how-to-send-post-form-data-with-file-and-data-using-azure-api-management

If you opt to self-host your Developer Portal, you can probably customize per your requirement and override this limitation.
