Properties

Property	Key	Type	Required	Default	Possible values	Applies when
Payload Schema	payloadSchema	array	No	[]	Array of payload entries (see below). Used by the UI to validate test payloads.	Always

payloadSchema → payload (array)

Each payload entry declares one expected payload key:

Property	Key	Type	Required	Default	Possible values
Key	key	string	Yes	''	Payload key to validate
Type	type	options	Yes	string	string (String), number (Number), boolean (Boolean), dateTime (Date & Time), options (Options), json (JSON), file (File)

Notes

• If the test payload includes a binary key, it's split off into the item's binary slot; the rest is emitted as json.
• payloadSchema only drives UI validation of the test payload — it doesn't filter or alter the emitted data.
