Postman flows accessing Environment

Hi,

I have an issue accessing environment variables from a request. The flow points at the correct env but does not resolve any variables.

Reading this post IIUI I need to set my variables to the correct type so they are set as String and I have tried leaving the value blank, using the variable name eg auth_url and also using the value {{auth_url}}.

In the image below I left the other variables blank until I get the first one resolved.,.,.

Any input appreciated.

Hi @jim-smyth

Welcome to the forums!

If you have a variable with the name “auth_url” already in your selected environment, it will autofill. What you have right now is overriding the environment values because you put a string block there. If you right click on the string and remove it then it should work as expected.

MANY thanks! Your explanation makes it very clear (and it now works of course). I guess the UI or docs could make this a bit more apparent, but at least this thread exists for others who might have the same issue in the future!
