Hi
If I right-click on a request and choose Duplicate, it creates a new request name ‘<orig_req_name> copy’ but the new request does not contain the URL of the old one. Is this expected behaviour? (Hint: Not by me it isnt expected)
Are you able to provide more information about what you’re seeing. Which version and on what OS is this happening?
Can you upload an image or a gif of the behaviour that you’re currently seeing?
More information would allow people to give you an answer / offer a solution to the issue.
Not sure what was happening last week but it seems to be working this morning. Sorry for wasting your time
I am having this same issue. I am running version 7.29.1. How can I resolve this?
@danny-dainton, I should have mentioned that I am running this on a Mac. Also, I believe I found why it’s happening. If I create a brand new request, then add in the URI and other changes, then duplicate it, the newly created request is blank. If I do the same thing, but click on the ‘Save’ button before I duplicate it, then it creates the request with all my settings in it. It would be nice if the UI had some sort of indication on the screen that the request has some pending, unsaved changes on it. Maybe put an asterisk next to the request name?
Me too. they need to run some tests for their duplicate logic
Didn’t the request tab have an orange dot on it, to indicate that this had unsaved changes?
You might need to provide example images if you’re explaining something in the UI
I was just getting the same issue but realised that there were requests in the source folder that I was duplicating that were unsaved (yes there was an orange dot on the request tab).
Once saved all works as expected
I am having the same issue. When I duplicate a request, it will create an empty request. If I click “Save” it will create the expected copy.
The problem is that this happens also with requests which has been already saved during a previous session. Thus, the Save button is greyed out because I made no changes to the request.
Note that this only happens to me on Mac. I am also using Postman on Linux and never had this issue before.
My Postman version:
Version 11.18.2
UI Version: 11.18.2-ui-241030-0928
Desktop Platform Version: 11.18.0 (11.18.0)
+1 having the issue on mac, duplicating not always work (even tho the request being duplicated has not unsaved changes) often it creates an empty request, after restarting postman it works as intented
Version 11.18.4
UI Version: 11.18.4-ui-241107-1213
Desktop Platform Version: 11.18.0 (11.18.0)
