Description
Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way to have a list instead of the json object in the request body?
My currect solution with a schema containing a field of type List looks like this:
`{
"id_list": [
"3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"
]
}`
Desired request body schema:
`["3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"]`
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by investigating how flask-smorest represents request-body schemas and whether OpenAPI permits a top-level array. Compare the current id_list object example with the desired array; done means determining whether list bodies can be supported and documenting or testing the resulting schema and request handling.
