Summary

The add directory feature also supports both pre-and post-execution scripts, which run alongside the scripts in the directory when the REST API is executed.

Why should this be worked on?

For example, Postman's directory feature allows adding execution scripts to the directory. However, since some of our services require centralized encryption authentication, scripts can currently only be added to REST APIs. I need to copy the script to each REST API, which is redundant.
