Support `oneOf` when describing `requestBody`
See original GitHub issueIs your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I’d like a way to describe two request bodies to the same API path, but with somewhat different bodies. For example, say I have a /user path, and want to be able to create a regular user and a manager user, where the manager user has multiple other fields that need to be set.
Describe the solution you’d like
The OpenAPI 3.0 spec supports oneOf for requestBody -> content -> application/json -> schema, per the docs:
requestBody:
description: A JSON object containing pet information
content:
application/json:
schema:
oneOf:
- $ref: '#/components/schemas/Cat'
- $ref: '#/components/schemas/Dog'
- $ref: '#/components/schemas/Hamster'
https://swagger.io/docs/specification/describing-request-body/
Right now if you use oneOf here, it doesn’t show any of the requestBodies.
Describe alternatives you’ve considered I’m also tried using multiple requestBody examples per this other ticket I created, but unfortunately that isn’t supported either.

Thanks for your answer, I’ll look if I can do something
Generally unless an issue is tied to a milestone with a date on it, then there is no ETA. I’ll try and take a look at what’s (not) going on and either fix or write it up for someone else.
