Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

In Postman;

pm.globals.set("accessToken", accessToken);
pm.globals.set("refreshToken", refreshToken);

Why should this be worked on?

In the postman application, data from the response can be saved in the global environment table, can you add it?

According to the following code:
github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch@580cf60766/packages/hoppscotch-js-sandbox/src/shared-utils.ts (L31C1-L57C4)

It seems pw.env.set() will set a global environment when:

The variable is NOT in the current active non-global environment AND
The variable is already in global environment (whether there's value assigned or not)

So to make it set to global variable, you have to remove the corresponding variable in your local environment variable and add a new (blank) entry in the global one. Then it will save to the global variable (an icon will show up).

I do think that there should be a better documentation on this implementation or simply add another method that only updates global variable.
