Issue:
Add default body
After importing a OpenAPI 3 swagger file, the request are almost ready to be used accept for the body.

It would be nice to have the json body parsed from the spec and left the values empty.
That way we wouldn't have to open the spec to look for the values that should be passed.

The spec can also provide examples, which can be used as a default value.

```json
{
  "value": "",
  "optional_value": null,
  "value_with_default": "default"
}
```

+## Unreleased
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Exported curl command uses `-d` for form data now, rather than `-F`. The result is exported commands with form data will now use `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` instead of `multipart/form-data` (matching Posting's behaviour).
+
 ## 2.6.0 [29th March 2025]
 
 ### Added

 If neither is set, Posting will try to use the default pager lookup rules discussed earlier.
