Feature Request: Combining 1 or multiple Environment Variables

Currently only one Environment can be choosed. Which is already very useful to quickly change URL, username/password, access token, etc.

But If I have multiple URLs(Dev, QA, PROD) and multiple username(Free, Paid and Premium Type User) I need to create my Envs like this:

• Dev - Free Type
• Dev - Paid Type
• Dev - Premium Type
• QA - Free Type
• QA - Paid Type
• QA - Premium Type
• PROD - Free Type
• PROD - Paid Type
• PROD - Premium Type

This will grow like crazy if I need to add more variables. eg: VIP User, ADMIN user, Staging Server URL...

---

The proposed solution is to be able to select 1 or more Environment at the same time. So I can have something like this:

• [x] Dev Server Variables
• [ ] QA Server Variables
• [ ] Prod Server Variables
• [x] Free User Variables
• [ ] Paid User Variables
• [ ] Premium User Variables

Postman should be able to merge these Envs, and override if duplicates taking order priority or an attribute indicating variable priority.

This feature is really helpful for us to use. Consider you are developing an app that can have dev,test,prod env, and different regions, US, EU, etc. Or is postman targeted as a forever small app that its users never manage multiple environments?

There's another post on similar topic, probably better: https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/4968

I want to merge two environments in Postman. Env1 and Env2. How can I make it new Evn3 which is having all Env1 and Env2 variables?

Is there any updates on this?

This appears to be the most important core feature that hasn't been implemented yet. But it seems like the Postman team doesn't care about the needs of users, instead they are busy implementing the ideas of their out-of-touch managers.

and related, which can be resolved by combining vars from several environments: https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/4898 https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/10775
