Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

As called out in a few issues, it is a common pattern to take values from a response payload and use these in subsequent API calls. The most common example is fetching a JWT and using that in an Authorization header for all subsequent calls.

Things are just different enough in Hoppscotch to make examples from Postman not compatible. Unless I'm missing something obvious, I was unable to get console output from the Tests tab to tell me where things were going wrong, but I did manage to figure it out eventually.

Some small doc additions can help others not run into the same friction.

Steps to reproduce
