Swagger-ui: Swagger UI query parameters array of custom object get request

[dsr301]

I have a customer array object in my get request with below query parameter

          {
            "name": "filters",
            "in": "query",
            "schema": {
              "type": "array",
              "items": {
                "$ref": "#/components/schemas/ColumnFilter"
              }
            }
          }

schema of custom object is:

      "ColumnFilter": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "column": {
            "type": "string",
            "nullable": true
          },
          "value": {
            "type": "string",
            "nullable": true
          }
        }

I swagger UI what should i pass as value for this custom object
below manual url works for me:
https://localhost:8989/...?filters[0].Column=Site ID&filters[0].Value=Site_1

when i mention the below values in swagger UI for filters (array[objec])
column="Horizontal Beamwidth"&value="100" it is generating the below invalid url
https://localhost:8989/..?filters=column%3D%22Horizontal%20Beamwidth%22%26value%3D%22100%22

What should i enter in the swagger UI to generate a valid query parameter?

@dsr301 This is a limitation of the OpenAPI Specification (not Swagger UI) - currently it does not provide a way to serialize an array of objects into a query string like ?filters[0].Column=Site ID&filters[0].Value=Site_1. There's an existing feature request to support this serialization method as part of the deepObject style: https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/1706.

Closing as this a limitation of the OpenAPI Specification.

So... is there a workaround for this at all. Can I use swagger without OpenAPI... this is a pretty big limitation to swagger-ui.
