Is your feature request related to a problem?

When using the HTTP Request interface to issue GraphQL queries, the Authorization settings have an "inherit auth from parent" option which enables the Authorization to be configured at the Collection or Folder level. This is particularly useful for OAUTH2 authorization where the token requires updating regularly.

The GraphQL client interface does not have this option, so the Authorization settings have to be copied across all requests.

Describe the solution you'd like

Replicate the "inherit auth from parent" functionality from the HTTP Request interface to the GraphQL client interface.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Auth has to be copied and updated on every GraphQL request!

Does fixing this exist on a roadmap anywhere? :(

This is disappointing. You can use a variable as a workaround, however.
