Can I send 2 dimension array as parameter in POSTMAN?

Question

I need to send parameters as array of objects in POSTMAN.

"array": [
    {"field1": "html", "field2": "5"},
    {"field1": "css", "field2": "3"}
 ]

I know that array must send as array[] but how can I set one item of the array as an object?

I tried this

"array[]" : "{"field1": "html", "field2": "5"}"

But I'm getting a 500 response error.

Just send it in raw format(in json) and specify data type as application/json. Worked for me

The requirement is to send the data as form-data and not with raw data. The reason behind this: To support existing code. If you know how I can send this data in form-data then please let me know. – Zubin Shah Dec 03 '19 at 05:04

If array of arrays works for you as well, you can send them like this:

I found the solution adding raw data as JSON. from body > raw

[
  {
    "text": "Buy fish",
    "completed": true
  },
  {
    "text": "Go for walk check",
    "completed": false
  },
  {
    "text": "Pick baby from school",
    "completed": false
  }
]
