nested data in make_request box_sdk

Hi,

I am using box-python-sdk for one of my projects. I need to create new group membership.

This is what I tried

json_response = client.make_request(
        'POST',
        client.get_url('group_memberships'),
        data={'user':{'id': user.box_id,},
                'group':{'id':group_id,},
                'role': role
             }
    ).json()

but it gives me the following error

Message: Bad Request
Status: 400
Code: bad_request
Request id: m28r30fnd4lr82wp

I think that's because box api's _make_request adds the content-type to multipart data and not possible to override this.

is there any workaround this issue?
