Hi!
I’m trying to get a collection that will work right after generation so I’m using examples in swagger spec.
But I got smth like that in collection:

{
    "jsonrpc": "<string>",
    "id": "<string>",
    "method": "<string>",
    "params": {
        "customer": {
            "id": "<integer>",
            "email": "<string>",
            "phone": "<string>"
        },
...

I made some research and found out several converters on postmanlabs that can make it (GitHub - postmanlabs/swagger2-postman2: Module and library to convert Swagger 2.0 to a Postman Collection (v2.0)) What about Postman app itself?

Hey @k.polyakov, if you’re using the latest Postman desktop app (V7.1 or newer), you’d be able to create a new “API” from the sidebar and them import your OpenAPI specification into it. When you do, you can click on “Generate Collection” button to create collections from your OpenAPI specification. This can help - https://learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/design_and_develop_apis/the_api_workflow/

This works but what if I have swagger spec like this

  parameters:
    - name: body
      in: body
      required: true
      schema:
        type: object
        required:
          - jsonrpc
          - id
          - method
          - params
        properties:
          jsonrpc:
            type: string
            example: '2.0'
            x-nullable: false
          id:
            type: string
            example: '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000'
            x-nullable: false
          method:
            type: string
            example: 'customer.get-policies'
            x-nullable: false

I wanna see in generated collection:

{
“jsonrpc”: “2.0”,
“id”: “550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000”,
“method”: “customer.get-policies”,
…
}

This is the problem I talking about
