API Mapping editor - make query parameters optional

Allow GET operations for multiple resources by specifying the query parameters, but they have to be optional,
for example if your service allows to get up to 40 accounts, you specify
/accounts?id1&id2&id3&id4&id5&id6...&id40
Currently The API Editor lets you do this, but flags all parameters as required and picks a random order:

"/accounts" : {
"get" : {
"operationId" : "getMultipleAccounts",
"parameters" : [ {
"name" : "id4",
"in" : "query",
"required" : true,
"type" : "string",
"maxLength" : 79
}, {
"name" : "id2",
"in" : "query",
"required" : true,
"type" : "string",
"maxLength" : 6
}, {
"name" : "id3",
"in" : "query",
"required" : true,
"type" : "string"
}, {
"name" : "id6",
"in" : "query",
"required" : true,
"type" : "string"
}, {
"name" : "id5",
"in" : "query",
"required" : true,
"type" : "string"
}, {
"name" : "id1",
"in" : "query",
"required" : true,
"type" : "string"
}, {
"name" : "Authorization",
"in" : "header",
"required" : false,
"type" : "string"
}
