Collection variables keep getting removed after sharing

Hi,

I have been using a collection in the default “My Workspace” for the last few months, when I attempted to share the workspace with my team members, the workspace was removed from my personal one without warning, I assumed it would make a copy.

After the collection was moved, all of the collection variables had been wiped, I filled them back in, but every time I log out they get wiped again, they always used to save when in my personal workspace.

After I fill out the variables I attempt to save manually, but the button is greyed out saying no changes have been made, how do I get the variables to save?

It is quite tedious having to fill these out each time I log in.

Thanks,
Martin.

Hey @martinp-mk :wave:

Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman:

Do you only place the variable data in the Current Value section? Those are session based variables and the data would be removed if you were to share, export or log out as it is only available to you during that session.

The data in the Initial Value is synced and would be visible when you log back in.

In terms of saving, you could enable the Autosave feature from the settings to do the manual saving part for you.

Could you explain a little bit about how you were sharing the Collection with a team member from a Personal Workspace, were you using this popout?

Hi,

Yes, I was using that pop out, and I must have missed the part that said “Move”, I have enabled the autosave feature so hopefully that will resolve the issue.

Thanks,
Martin.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately the problem still persists.

Do you require any additional information?

Thanks,
Martin.

Which problem still persists?

Are you now saving the values in both the initial and current values?
