Summary

Hi!

In the pre-request script there is possibility to make fetch() to another REST API. We want to have a logic to stop the main request based on the result from the fetch.

Basically this feature request is about similar to pm.execution.skipRequest() on Postman:

Example:

Why should this be worked on?

Improve use cases of Pre-request script to support request
competitive for Hoppscotch against other tools
