Originally created by @DaPutzy on GitHub (Oct 4, 2023).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/3419

Summary

Currently there is only one scope for variables: env (outside of the script scope itself).
To be able to use scripts to their full potential at least 2 more variable scopes are needed: "request" and "collection".

Why should this be worked on?

I do no want to pollute my environment when creating a variable that is only used in one request or collection.

This is exactly what is holding me back from switching to hoppscotch... Would be an awesome feature
