Filtering variables in Environment quick look #3561

Open grinderX19 opened 7 years ago

grinderX19 commented 7 years ago

Every now and then I need to check the value of some variable (global or environment one) after my scripts run. I believe it would be quite convenient for many users if there was a quick filter searching for substrings in both variable names and values for Environment quick look and Manage environments (Edit Environment and Globals).

For example:

Steps:

  1. click the "eye" icon to open Environment quick look
  2. press Ctrl+F (this is optional and probably can be omitted)
  3. start typing

Result:

@grinderX19 This sounds great. We'll take this into consideration as we work on improving the variables feature.

Would love to see this. Our organization uses this fairly heavily and being able to quickly and safely navigate to the variable we are looking to change would save a signficant amount of time

I'm surprised that this feature request has not been prioritized considering it was submitted 4 years and 10 months ago. For my use case I have over a hundred variables and if you need to change the value of one variable, it's very hard to find. Navigating to the environment tab there's no search feature and one might think that the variable list is ordered, but it's not. The workaround is to:

  1. Export the environment to a file
  2. Open the file in a text editor
  3. Find the variable
  4. Change the value
  5. Save
  6. Import the file back to Postman.

These steps are very inconvenient for the day-to-day workflow

I think this is a must have feature. @vkaegis Could you reassign the issue to someone that can attend the issue?

Hi, is there any perspective to implement it? It is so an old post and so important feature, but as I see Postman team don't have any priority on it. image

As of Postman v10.10.0 it was implemented in Environments tab: #2096, also fixed in #11200, but for quick look it's still missing.
