Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

When working with the team we use team environment with variables like:

BASE_API
REDIRECT_URI

But often we will need to login to perform some requests. For these we need to save locally since every team members will have different values:

access_token
refresh_token

The problem is that if we select Team environment all the variables will be saved to that team environment and that can mess up with other team members while they are working at the same time.

Our current workaround is that everyone needs to setup and import the local environment.

Two ways we can solve this:

In postman, this is solved in a way that we have initial value which is shared across the team, and then every pm.environment.set will update the variable only locally. Refer to image below:

Let the developer specify to which environment to save. For this, we could maybe use Global environment (although Global might not be best use-case for this since it's a more per-environment setting):

pw.env.set("variable", "value");
pw.env.global.set("variable", "value");

Why should this be worked on?

It prevents multiple team members from working together and using team environments simultaneously.
