Discard changes made to my forked Postman collection


Context:

  1. Fork Workspace A's collection A1 into Workspace B. We will refer to the Forked collection as B1
  2. Make a change to a request in B1 for testing purposes.
  3. Make a change to that same request but in A1 (improvements, for example).

Issue:

There is no way to reset collection B1's request, back to collection A1's request.

The options available only seem to allow you to merge changes from B into A?

Question:

Am I missing something? I want to discard changes made in my forked collection - B. Pulling just notifies me that there are changes, but gives me no way of discarding anything I've modified.


Solution

  • There is no way of discarding changes on a forked collection at this current point in time.

    As a work around, do not save changes directly to requests. Instead, hit Save As and then Add "(M)" (M for Modified. Or B for Bob. Or D for ... different) to the beginning of the request's name to distinguish that this one, is one that has been edited.

    This will allow the pull functionality to continue to function correctly.
