Summary

When resolving environment variables, there was a previous update to fallback to initial value when current value is empty. https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/pull/5162

However, the OAuth2 authorization variable resolution does not have this fallback. This should also allow fallback for consistency.

Why should this be worked on?

The expectation is currently that variable resolution will fallback to initial value when current value is empty. That should apply consistently everywhere, including when making OAuth2 authorization calls. It will also clear up confusion when the variable shows as resolving but the Generate Token returns a Form validation error.
