Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

Ideally, an option to set the user agent string (if one wasn't specified in 'Headers') to some default value for Hoppscotch could be added (and this functionality could be toggled with a setting in Hoppscotch with it being on by default).

Why should this be worked on?

This would be useful as it can be easy to forget to add it, yet essential if some services are routed through CloudFlare or other services that tend to require a User-Agent to be specified. Perhaps this could be expanded to other default headers too?

I've been looking at implementing this from the proxy side, but rather than double-implementing it on the proxy, this could probably just be made a feature of Hoppscotch directly as it benefits all users rather than just those of the proxy.

Is there any update on above feature request. I am facing the same issue where I had forgotten to add user-agent header due to which I was getting cloudflare error
