Include Scripts at the Collection Level

[cesar19004]

Currently, we can use pre-request and post-request scripts for individual requests or for all requests within a folder. However, it would be great to also define scripts at the root collection level that apply to all requests within that collection.

A useful scenario for this feature would be automatically checking and refreshing CSRF tokens, re-authenticating when necessary, or signing requests—without the need to maintain the same script in each folder or, worse, in each individual request.

While it's possible to reorganize the project into a single folder to use folder-level scripts, having scripts at the collection level would provide more freedom in the folder structure.

Added this to the backlog, but its priority could depend on multiple factors.

@ihexxa, is it released? Or is there any workaround I can use script for Collection/Folder level?

[ihexxa]

@ranistar Nope.. but you are able to create a top folder with scripts as a workaround.

Hi @ihexxa,

Could you please help me with below.
I wanted to know whether I can define few reusable methods in this folder level and script and then use those methods in the pre-request or post-request Scripts ?
I am trying this in 11.0.1 version. is it possible today ?

Hi @manoj30 ,
Currently there's no standard way for doing this, but if you really require this, you are able to combine eval(...) and environment values as the workaround.

A late reply. Actually we were waiting for this feature to be included. It could have helped a lot many users, as this is really useful feature.
Thanks for the info.

Hi @manoj30 , There is already a feature request in place for this request.

Thank you.
