Bug Report - Examples Pre-populating parameters

[hansena]

Expected Behavior: parameter examples display as help text below the parameter field in the request pane and are used to populate request fields when the 'fill example' button is clicked.

Actual Behavior:

• array examples on array parameters pre-populate the field on load.
• boolean true examples pre-populate the field on load.
• boolean false examples do not appear as help text below the field.

Reproduction:

First of all thanks for putting up a nice test case and the screenshots !!!

However there is a little misunderstanding on how the feature works

Here is what is expected

• if you specify an example for a parameter it will always be filled
• if you do not want to fill the examples by default then set the attribute fill-request-fields-with-example = 'false'

Having said that, the feature is little buggy, which will be fixed
