Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

It would be great to automatically regenerate the OAuth token after expiration.

Why should this be worked on?

We are working with daily authentication tokens and it means I have to go to Collections > Properties > Authorization > Generate token everyday in order to make it up to date while the app could do it by itself when it detects outdated token.

Also note that I have to close & reopen the request tab to make it use the freshly generated token.

Hi! I'd love to work on this issue. It sounds like a useful enhancement and I think I can implement the auto-refresh mechanism.
Could you please assign it to me or let me know if there’s anything I should know before getting started?

It would be very useful to get this feature to save having to always manually refresh
