Hi, after updating to 11.31 there seems to be no way to save responses to requests as example (e.g.) any more.
The button is just gone.

Right now my work around is to save the whole request to the collection. It then contains the example as well. So i have to move every new example i receive manually to the request it originated from.
Is there a better way to restore the orignal (e.g.)-button behaviour?
please note that my request originated from an earlier saved example.

There is a similar issue resolved earlier:

Hey @sebastianwagner-diva :wave:

Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman:

You’re actually sending a request, from the example, in that image. So the option there would be to update the example that you’re already in.

You would be able to see this from the Collections sidebar as that would be highlighted.

If you go back up a level to the main request and hit send, you will see the correct and expected button.

cool thank you,
good catch by pointing out the e.g. reuse.

My strategy right now would be to copy examples beforehand and playing around with them for rapid prototyping. And then i use the “update example” action.
