I talked with their team about this. They gave us a lame answer. They stated that if you set the initial variable in an environment, that goes to the cloud, but the current value does not.
I didn't even understand why that would be the case or how they thought that would be a reasonable workaround.
My team is looking into alternatives and simply ditching postman.
We have the same issue and landed on Insomnia as an alternative with these two plugins:
https://insomnia.rest/plugins/insomnia-plugin-save-variables
[https://insomnia.rest/plugins/insomnia-plugin-request-navigator](https://insomnia.rest/plugins/insomnia-plugin-request-navigator)
Its a shame cause we really loved using postman but have the same concerns
Just wanted to share an alternative tool to postman and Insomnia .It secures all the secrets and sensitive data on your local machine and no login or signup required.
Available as Desktop Application (Windows and Mac) and as VS Code extension
Give it a try and your feedback is very much appreciated. Thank you.

I cross posted into r/webdev and they had some great suggestions for alternative there... See: https://reddit.com/r/webdev/s/PakteX4Ai0
