Passing List of Objects not working in Web API Core

Question

If I pass single object like below, My controller is showing the data.

My C# library project.

var client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.PostAsync(uri, myRequestObject, new JsonMediaTypeFormatter());

My Controller looks like this.

public async Task<Response> Execute(Request request)
    {
        this.Logger.Debug("Initializing Controller");

        return await Task.Run(() => ExecuteRequest());
    }

The above code is working and I am receiving the data from C# library.

I want to pass list of objects like this

var objectList = new List<RequestObject> { myRequestObject}
var client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.PostAsync(uri, objectList , new JsonMediaTypeFormatter());

And I want my controller like this.

public async Task<Response> Execute(List<Request> request)
    {
        this.Logger.Debug("Initializing Controller");

        return await Task.Run(() => ExecuteRequest());
    }

Passing list is not working.

Try adding [FromBody] to your argument

public async Task<Response> Execute([FromBody] List<Request> request)
