Answer 1

You can do it like a normal multipart Form from Postman but you need to update your Mapping Method.

@PostMapping("/upload-file-form")
    public ResponseEntity<?> multiUploadFileModel(@ModelAttribute ExampleDTo model) {
        try {
            saveUploadedFile(model.getImage()); // Create method to save your file or just do it here
            formRepo.save(mode.getName(),model.getDescription()); //Save as per requirement 
        } catch (IOException e) {
            return new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
        }
        return new ResponseEntity("Successfully uploaded!", HttpStatus.OK);
    }

For complete code example look here. And then you can test it on postman like this:

Answer 2

One way to do this is to use multiple multiparts.

So for example if you use this controller:

@PostMapping
public void uploadFileWithData(
        @RequestPart ExampleDTo request,
        @RequestPart("file") final MultipartFile file){
    ...
}

note: ExampleDto should contain only fields of json payload, not MultipartFile

In Postman you should use then form-data and choose file which you want to upload and also file with json payload.
