HTTP Connector - request content field - postman works - using xml

Hi, sorry for another beginner question…

In postman, I can post data to an API endpoint using XML. The request which sits in the body and works in postman is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<request>
    <control>
        <senderid>sendor</senderid>
        <password>password</password>
        <controlid>{{$timestamp}}</controlid>
        <uniqueid>false</uniqueid>
        <dtdversion>3.0</dtdversion>
        <includewhitespace>false</includewhitespace>
    </control>
    <operation>
        <authentication>
            <login>
                <userid>userid</userid>
                <companyid>companyid</companyid>
                <password>password </password>
            </login>
        </authentication>
        <content>
            <function controlid="cd">
                <readByName>
                    <object>VENDOR</object>
                    <keys>C047186</keys>
                    <fields>*</fields>
      >           </readByName>
            </function>
        </content>
    </operation>
</request>

I’m trying to replicate this using the HTTP connector in make.com but struggling to see how to get this into the ‘request content’ box:

I’ve tried simply typing text / injecting a bit of data from a prior connector / using a ‘create xml’ connector as the previous one and injecting that, and nothing seems to work? Each time I hit ‘okay’, close the connector and go back into it and it’s wiped whatever I have input.

The help section doesn’t seem to flag anything obvious - any ideas or pointers?

Hi Daniel,
You could create the XML using the Create XML module.
After which you could map it into the HTTP module.

Hello @to11433,

I would just save the scenario, close it, re-open it, and try again.

Just so we’re on the same page, could you please explain what you mean by “injecting”? If you screenshots or a Loom that would help too.
If it’s being buggy, you may need to open a ticket.

Thanks - after pressing some more buttons it appears to be a visual bug - the AI assistant does tell me there is content in the field so I’ve just submitted a support case!

FWIW, the issue was there was a $ in the text I was copying in and make.com didn’t like it!
