Update: okay partially worked, had to do it like this

request.items.forEachIndexed { index, item ->
    append("items[$index][name]", item.name)
    append("items[$index][qty]", item.qty)
    append("items[$index][price]", item.price)
    item.categoryId?.let { append("items[$index][category_id]", item.categoryId) }
}

and it did send it as a list of objects 🎉

but now I noticed that everything is converted into a string, even numbers, how can I avoid this?

From memory, the multipart/form-data specification only supports strings (or files) so that is working as intended

Which is weird, I've seen the internal code and it does convert everything to string, but how does it work when I send a normal serializable data class, but when I do it manually in a form-data it doesn't work?

basically what I want to do is send a normal body but the exception is that I want to also send an image with it.

maybe I'm looking at the wrong solution here?
