Description

- Insomnia Version: 6.6.2 (6.6.2.2932)
- Operating System: macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G87)

## Details

I am trying to create a POST request with Multipart Form Body and uploading multiple files in the same key/value pair. Insomnia doesnt seem to allow me to select multiple files. I could successfully do it in another REST Client. Is this a limitation or am I doing it wrong?

Sample curl command :

```
curl -X POST \
\
-H ‘cache-control: no-cache’ \
-H ‘content-type: multipart/form-data; \
-F =@ \
-F =@ \
-F =@
```

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by reproducing multipart form-body file selection with several files under one key, then trace the file-picker and request-building entry points. Done means multiple files can be selected for one parameter and the generated request matches the supplied curl example.
