After Postman update no initial and current value anymore

[RobLoket2020 (Rob)]

Hello all,

Does anyone know if there has been an update that changed the environment variables? I used to have 3 columns; variable, initial value and current value. Since about 2 weeks i only have the a column named Variable and Value. This is a not working as good as before since need to swith client_id’s for example and now i don’t know the name of the old one anymore and have to look it up externally.

Im not sure that this is because of an update? I cant find it anywhere in the settings. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks!
