Is your feature request related to a problem?

I'm trying to make a GraphQL request to a GraphQL API.

Most GraphQL APIs take in a JSON body with two params: “query” and “variables”. In other words, Postman (when using GraphQL) will send out a body like this: { “query”: … “variables”: … }

However, I am working with a GraphQL endpoint that takes “query_str” and “variables”. Like this: { “query_str”: … “variables”: … }

I don't see a way to tell postman to put the GraphQL Query in "query_str" instead of "query".

Describe the solution you'd like

A feature to specify which the field name the query should be in would be great.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm reaching out to the people make the API as well.

I will suggest using the raw mode body in HTTP for this specific use case like this:

@ryanhughes-motional For HTTP transport, GraphQL follows https://graphql.org/learn/serving-over-http/#post-request. I am curious to know why you would like the API to behave like this. 🤔

I didn't build the API - I am using an API someone else built :)
