Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Need a highlighter for JSON format while editing it in the value section under __ body -> form-data -> value. Please refer to the below screenshot for the same.

Describe the solution you'd like Highlighter for JSON format will help in understanding, viewing the code more efficiently.

Hey @Swapnil-getpostman

This feels like it would need to be more that just a change for JSON highlighting as that form field is a text field, it could be a number of different formats.

It just so happens for your current use case, its for JSON 😁.

Perhaps this could be implemented as a selector within the Value field, similar to the Text/File selector within the Key field? The dropdown would let you choose from the standard formats supported elsewhere (Text, Javascript, JSON,..).
