Expected behavior (required)

Send request as an Array.

Current behavior (required)

Even when the List option is set to True it still sends it as an single value and not as a list/array.

To Reproduce (required)

• Version of FlutterFlow used: 3.0
• Platform: Web
• Browser name and version: Chrome Latest Version
• Operating system and version: Desktop

There is a bug when trying to submit an API POST request using x-www-form-urlencoded and trying to submit a variable as an array. Whether "Is List" option is set to True or not that request is still submitted as a value not an array as intended. Pictures below.

Any update on this? Do you need more examples?

Hi @cleanspacedev , thanks for the report. Does this API all work if you specify ["file_1MPGw9EVknDkxqHqAkiyPKSK"] instead of file_1MPGw9EVknDkxqHqAkiyPKSK as the value for fileID?

[cleanspacedev]

It makes it a value and looks like \["file_1MPGw9EVknDkxqHqAkiyPKSK"]\

It is as if the parser that is being used for x-www-form-urlencoded does not know how to convert array's and makes the whole inputted value and variable.

Yes, you're correct that there is no string -> array conversion. But can you verify if the POST endpoint can accept ["file_1MPGw9EVknDkxqHqAkiyPKSK"]? If not, we can add code to handle arrays.

Yes, it would accept that, but if I add brackets to the input the parser inserts \["file_1MPGw9EVknDkxqHqAkiyPKSK"]\ before executing the request.

That is the expected behavior -- you should wrap the inputs in square brackets for array values.
