How to send nested form-data using postman?

Assume I have some data as below,

{
    "name":"John",
    "age":30,
    "cars": 
    {
        "car_img_1":"car_img_file1",
        "car_img_2":"car_img_file2",
        "car_img_3":"car_img_file3"
    }
 }

How can I send it using POSTMAN with form-data?

NOTES
1. car_img_fileX will be the file(.jpg,.png etc types)
2. What I'd tried -->> POSTMAN Screenshot.
3. Local server builted with Django framework


Current Output
Receiving 5 different items/data instaed of Nested data--> see this Pycharm Debugger Output

To anyone who's still facing this issue, This is how I ended up solving it. after you select the form-data tab, click on bulk edit and enter your values as below:

depreciation_details[method]:Straight-line
depreciation_details[rate]:2
depreciation_details[salvage_value]:100000
depreciation_details[useful_life]:4

or you can enter the values directly into the fields provided as shown in the screenshot below:

so with the original post, this is what it should be:

cars[car_img_1]:car_img_file1
cars[car_img_2]:car_img_file2

I searched this functionality in Postman and found your this question. When i try this answer nothing worked. But i changed key pointing and tried remove the "." after indexing my key's (cars[0].car_img_1 -> cars[0]car_img_1).

So my solution this:

I found this answer from this problem. Edited as per your code.

Convert your Image Fields to base64Image and send it through the JSON data.

All you need to do is:

  1. go to https://www.base64-image.de/ and convert the image to base64 format. Copy the encoded result.
  2. Install django-extra-fields package in your project from here
  3. In your serializer_class, import and change the image field to Base64ImageField:

serializers.py

...
from drf_extra_fields.fields import Base64ImageField
...
  1. Now, go to your postman and send the JSON data like the following. Remember to send that encoded image in your image field in JSON.
{
    "name":"John",
    "age":30,
    "cars": 
    {
        "car_img_1":"<base64 encoded image>",
        "car_img_2":"<base64 encoded image>",
        "car_img_3":"<base64 encoded image>"
    }
 }

Try this:

cars[0][car_img_1]:car_img_file1
cars[1][car_img_2]:car_img_file2

You can insert it in "bulk-edit" mode.
