Requests grouped into folders inside collection are missing and reimport does not work as well

Upon updating the postman to the new version sometime back, I lost all the requests that I have grouped into folders inside collections. Luckily I have a dump (json) took a while back and when re-importing from it, it does not bring back my requests which were grouped into folders, instead it bring only the requests which were at the root of the collections. I have updated the postman to the latest version and this is the version I have now and still the issue exists when importing

Version 11.58.1
UI Version: 11.58.1-ui-250812-0110
Desktop Platform Version: 11.58.1 (11.58.1)

I can clearly see all my previous requests, which were grouped into folders in my backup file. Please refer to the trimmed down version of the dump temp/TrimmedDownVersion.json at main · kasunsiyambalapitiya/temp · GitHub ( I have made it to contain only one folder for easy reference)

Could you please help me to get my requests appear again?

Thanks,

Kasun

Hi @kasunDeeptha :waving_hand:.
Welcome to the Postman Community :postman:.

To enable us to take a closer look at this, can you create a request here and attach the JSON dump and your application logs?

I confirm that I have the same issue. I noticed, though, that if you operate some changes (like create new folders, move requests into folders, move requests between collections) then:

  • if you export without closing Postman - the bug reproduces - in the exported JSON you have a lot of missing parts
  • if you first close Postman then reopen it (this allows it to sync with the cloud) - then the export is OK

This was tested using the Postman Collections 2.1 export format.

Same issue here. When I’ve updated a collection, when exporting the changes are not always exported. I have to close and open Postman, then export to get the changes. not great…
