No body generated when root is a list

[Leemur89]

Hello,
I have an endpoint where the root element is a list, and the generator is always giving me an empty body without possibility to edit it via the data mapping (or maybe there is one that I haven't found?)

{
  "requestBody": {
    "content": {
      "application/json": {
        "schema": {
          "example": [
            {
              "attribute": "City",
              "values": [
                "New York",
                "London"
              ]
            },
            {
              "attribute": "Type",
              "values": [
                "Restaurant",
                "Hotel"
              ]
            }
          ],
          "items": {
            "description": "An individual instruction on how to manipulate the object.",
            "properties": {
              "attribute": {
                "description": "Identification of a target attribute",
                "example": "Attitudes",
                "type": "string"
              },
              "values": {
                "description": "An array of values to be used with given attribute",
                "example": [
                  "Friendly",
                  "Outgoing"
                ],
                "items": {},
                "type": "array"
              }
            },
            "required": [
              "attribute"
            ]
          },
          "type": "array"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The library is sending an empty body, and there is nothing I can do with data mapping as PropertyValueConstraint requires a property_name, which does not exist for lists.

That's indeed a situation I haven't seen before. It'd be interesting to add that to the test server and see how that can be supported. Not sure when I'll have time for that though.

I did a quick PoC to see how easily this can be supported and it's not a simple change. The design relies on the Dto class and it's available methods and changing that to Dto | list[Dto] breaks multiple things in multiple places. I have some ideas for a redesign, but it's not a quick fix.
