@jainpawan21 for file upload do you have any design/flow in mind?
one option is to show file picker as soon as user types attachments:[{}] in the payload section, then we can repopulate name and mime, just to keep the design simple, what do you think?

@mahendraHegde
Currently attachment can be sent using base64 string from UI
let me check if we are planning to add input field in UI for this
