Is there an existing request for this feature?

Is your feature request related to a problem?

as a developer, I usually needed to convert data to another type. for example, there is probably a case where the data needs to be serialized to Base64 on some field, and therefore I used external tools frequently to convert those data.

Describe the solution you'd like

built-in tools for such activity would be useful, which may include (but are not limited to):

Describe alternatives you've considered

what I've had in mind is somewhat like an inline converter (equivalent to some MD editors) or a dedicated drawer or modal to handle such activities.

Ditto this would be neat. It'd be super handy to in-line a function to encode data in the request payload body. Similar to how the faker functions are built-in.
