Description

Refer to this thread https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/swagger-swaggersocket/akJxBdyqJNg

Currently it is not possible to use the same field name in both path and formdata.

If you have different fields with the same name in path and formdata, then one will disappear.

It should be possible to do so.
