Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

When importing a cascading folder structure from a postman collection, it results in empty folders and requests being added in a flat hierarchy.

Hierarchy in Postman:
grafik

Also, the authorization, which is configured on collection level, is ignored when importing from postman, as well as the variables.

Authorization in Postman:
grafik

Variables in Postman:
grafik

Result after import:

No variables

No Authorization settings

Steps to reproduce

Import a collection with cascading folders and a tree depth of at least 2 folders.
See that the imported tree structure doesn't match the expected one.

Environment

Production

Version

Self-hosted
