Globals become undefined after switching workspaces despite being visible in UI

I’m experiencing an intermittent issue where global variables become undefined in scripts after switching between workspaces, even though they’re clearly visible in the Variables tab.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have global variables set (e.g., Os with value iOS)

  2. Switch from one workspace to another and back to the original

  3. Run a request with a pre-request script that accesses globals

Expected behavior: Global variables should be filled.

Actual behavior:

  • console.log(pm.globals.get("Os")) outputs undefined

  • The Variables tab shows the global variable with correct value

  • Issue resolves after restarting Postman

  • Only affects globals, not environment or collection variables

Environment:

  • Postman version: v11.61.2 (Just updated but had it before updating, version unknown)

  • OS: Windows 11

Workaround: Restarting the application temporarily fixes the issue.

Frequency: Intermittent - happens specifically when switching workspaces but not consistently reproducible.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions for a more permanent fix than restarting the app each time?
