_My question_:  
When using the Run in Postman button to fork a collection, the environment is missing

_Details (like screenshots)_:  
STEP 1 - Created collection in a public workspace

STEP 2 - Created share button “Via Run In Postman” with Environment included

STEP 3 - Testing ‘Run in Postman’ button results in creation of collection fork, but is missing the environment.

_How I found the problem_:  
Tested using second postman account

_I’ve already tried_:  
Tested with various postman accounts as well as forking into private and public workspaces. All attempts result in missing environment. With one exception.

The only time the environment successfully forked along with the collection was when selecting a different workspace in the same postman account that created the shared collection.
