Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Support setting fallback value to env variables with something like <<baseUri | "https://api.io/v1/">>.

Alternative implementation

It would also be feasible (not so friendly) if we can call pw.env.get (as Postman does) on Pre-Request Scripts:

const baseUri = pw.env.get("baseUri");
if (!baseUri) {
  pw.env.set("baseUri", "https://api.io/v1/");
}

Why should this be worked on?

It would be helpful to share (Copy link) to end users the same request that you are using in development, working on just one click without the need to set up environment.

I'm currently thinking of duplicating requests to do this, not so good ...

Not sure (not checked yet) if I was wrong when open the issue or the pw.env.get was really made available on Pre-Request Scripts as suggested as alternative implementation.
Anyway, it's working now so I'm closing the issue 😃
Thanks!
