Hello, I’ve recently started exploring the use of Swagger documentation with our teams that currently use Postman for API test automation. The ability to import a spec and have it created as a collection in postman is great. As the team continues to develop and refactor the APIs and the spec is the…

Hi @obasekia , Thanks for writing in! Currently we don’t have a 2 way sync between Postman schema and collection but you can generate new collection from the updated schema and replace the older one. This is just a workaround for now till the time we come up with a solution. It is definitely in our…

The only concern I have with importing the swagger spec each time is that our test and variables will not be maintained, unless I’m missing something. I believe eve…

This makes this whole process very tedious. I would say step 1 would be allowing mock servers to change collections to allow for the already ma…

This is a must-have feature, please implement it ASAP!

Bump. Not only is it tiresome but it also doesn’t allow the test you’ve created to persist. @vansh.singh has there been any update on this?
