Your question

With regards to the collection file generated for postman, I can see that the body elements are generated with the mode of "raw", is there a way to configure this so that it uses "formdata" and generates json accordingly?

You want form-data type, but JSON body? Isn't that a contradiction?

So, no I meant that that on the import file I would like to have body json to be

"body": { "mode": "formdata", "formdata": [ { "key": "email", "value": "<string>", "type": "text" }, { "key": "password", "value": "<string>", "type": "text" } ] },

rather than
"body": { "mode": "raw", "raw": "{\"email\":\"user@email.com\",\"password\":\"password12\"}" },

I was wondering if there was a setting that would allow this to happen?

See

scribe/src/Writing/PostmanCollectionWriter.php

Lines 171 to 175 in 6a9d51b

	$inputMode = match ($contentType) {
	'multipart/form-data' => 'formdata',
	'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' => 'urlencoded',
	default => 'raw',
	};

. It sets these based on your content-type header.

When I add the attributes it prevents the form being posted as it now fails validation?

#[Header("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data")]

Huh?
