Hello, I’m trying to create a post request, however the raw json data appears to be too large and more than half of the text is not read? (it acts like a plain text rather than json data)  
Is there a way to go around this issue?

Hi @theToncheff,

Can you tell us how large the requests is in KB? If possible, even post it here, or post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

You could load the json from a file, in a Pre-request script, and should resolve it. I have not tried it myself yet, but there should be examples out there. Additionally, if you do go this route (load a json file as the quest body), and if you have any variables that you populate it with, you may have to do some scripting as well to populate the variable values in the appropriate places.

Let us know if this helps!

Thanks,
