Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

Description:

Currently, when working with multiple collections in the folder tree and selecting an environment within a team workspace, these settings are lost when the window is closed and reopened. Only the selected team remains, but all expanded folders and the chosen environment need to be reselected / reopened manually.

Expected Behavior:

The state of the folder tree (opened collections) should be preserved after reopening the application.
The selected environment in the team workspace should also be restored.

Actual Behavior:

All previously opened folder structures are collapsed.
The selected environment is reset to default (not preserved).
Only the selected team remains.

Related Issue:
Found a similar issue that was previously reported and closed: #2146. However, I am not sure if this is the same, but it appears that the problem still persists.

Would it be possible to reconsider this feature for better session continuity?

Login and select team workspace
Open multiple collections in the folder tree and some requests

Same issue here. Every time I reopen Hoppscotch (self-hosted version), the folder tree collapses and the selected environment within the team workspace resets to default. It’s quite inconvenient, especially when working across multiple collections and relying on a specific environment setup.

Preserving the expanded folder state and selected environment would really improve the user experience and workflow continuity. I’d also appreciate it if this feature could be reconsidered. Thanks for bringing this up!
