Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Add 'new request' at collection.
Right now only a folder can be created inside of another collection.
Would be nice have a new feature to add an empty request at collection level.

Why should this be worked on?

It is confusing at times while saving the request.
It would be great if a new empty request would be instantiated when working on a new request.

I am a bit confused with this feature request.

Add 'new request' at collection.

You can already do this, you can save a request by clicking on the Save button and on the picker you can select a collection.

Right now only a folder can be created inside of another collection.

Nope, as mentioned above you can save requests inside a collection as well.

Would be nice have a new feature to add an empty request at collection level.

I don't exactly understand what you mean by this.

It is confusing at times while saving the request.

I am not really sure about that, there is a Save button in the request right there near the "Send" button.

It would be great if a new empty request would be instantiated when working on a new request.

I can't exactly understand what you mean by this. Empty Request ? Instatiated Where ?

Currently all request save operations happen through the Save Button (or the relevant shortcut/action). Maybe a button to create a New Request (similar to how a New Folder button) in the kebab menu in the collection tree can create a better visibility ? (@liyasthomas opinions ?)

Introducing a "New request" action in collections/folders menu that save the current request setup to it's corresponding location seems like a handy feature to me.

We'll track this issue to implement the same.
