[FIXED] How to place comments in Postman?

Issue

How to place comments inside Postman? Specifically in the JSON request body section?

I want to comment-out a particular key or value from the request body so that it is not sent.

Commenting out a JSON key/value pair with // or /* ... */ appears as a styled comment inside Postman:

But sending this request results in server errors such as the below, and it's clear that the commented-out line is being sent as part of the request body:

Unexpected character ('/' (code 47)): maybe a (non-standard) comment? (not recognized as one since Feature 'ALLOW_COMMENTS' not enabled for parser) at [Source: (org.glassfish.jersey.message.internal.ReaderInterceptorExecutor$UnCloseableInputStream); line: 2, column: 6 ]

The JSON spec does not allow comments: Can comments be used in JSON?

I want Postman to strip the commented lines prior to being sent in the request.

Solution

You can write documentation and comments using the description section of the requests, collections or folders.
