Hello,

It is more like a feature request than help. But I would like to organise postman collections in folders. I want to group my collections by year. So, I want to put all my collections from 2023 to the 2023 folder. I don’t think it is possible right now but that would be a good feature. Is there any feature request form anywhere? Or is this possible in any way?

Thanks…

> I have a workspace with many collections (30+). Many of the collections are directly related. For example: four collections for the same companie's API (dev, uat, QA and prod environments). The variables for the collections are stored at collection level and not at environment level, for various reasons.

> Although it is theoretically possible, as shown in the image below, it is not practically do-able because it is not possible to set collection variables at the 2nd level folder. This forces the movement of the variables from collection level to environment level which can be very dangerous and cumbersome. 
> 
> I often integrate with other APIs and being able to quickly jump to the API collection I'm integrating with, without having to change my environment, is crucial for a fast workflow. This requires the variables to sit on the collection level.

> 
> \### Describe alternatives you've considered
> 
> I tried creating a top level folder with first-level sub-folders, each representing a collection. Then I moved everything under a collection into these first-level sub-folders. In the process I lost all the collection variables because it is of course not possible to have variables on the first-level sub-folders.
