Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

It seems tests have a more general use than just testing. I almost ditched Hoppscotch as a Postman alternative because "post-request scripts" were missing. Some comparison sites (eg https://stackshare.io/stackups/hoppscotch-vs-postman) seem to think the same.

Why should this be worked on?

Advertise features that are already implemented, so people see it as a worthy alternative.

+1, It took me long to realise that "Tests" are just post-request scripts. I wanted to set some env variables from response I got.
