When retrieving a Postman collection, we often have to set/create our variable collection.
They are highlighted in red in postman:
Unresolved Variable
This variable is not defined in the active collection, environment or globals.
I'm not able to "simply" set a value for this variable in environment variable.
I would be glad to right click on unresolved variable and set it directly, without creating manually.
Or, a system to collect all collection variable and set them as an empty value.
Any hints to speed-up this?
This is caused by not clicking on "Save" after creating the variable.
Notice that the "Save" button is enabled indicating that there are some unsaved changes. This causes the "Unresolved variable" error:
After saving:

Whenever I am adding this documentation to Postman, it changes my global variable /{{tenantName}} to an object like /:tenantName.
Does anybody have solution for it?
I am wondering if there is a way to remove all the global variables clicking somewhere in Postman. I know how to use environment variables and how to switch among them but I want to get rid of all the global variables at once.
I have variable "TOKEN" in my collection scope. I try to set the value using Tests scripts when do a request. But the variable not changed.
So, I try to use environment scope variable. And It works.
Why It's doesn't work when in collection scope? I had read about postman variable scope here and understand it well.
Here're some screenshots:
1. First, I call login endpoint.
Below is the console result. Nothing wrong.
Until I try to get all users endpoint that required token in request header. The status is 401 because the token is null. If the token is not null, then it will return 200:
It's gracefully working when I add "TOKEN" variable to environment. Switch to No Environment again will result 401 status code:
This may be new since this question was posted, but for anyone else
finding this, you can set collection variables using:
pm.collectionVariables.set(key, value)
See:
https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/variables/#defining-variables-in-scripts
You can now use:
pm.collectionVariables.set("variable_key", "variable_value");
In my original answer in June 2019, I wrote that collection variables are not editable through scripts, and can only be changed manually. As noted, this is no longer the case. . . .*
Turn off Automatic persist variable values from postman settings.

It seems you can only set env variables when some environment is selected: https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman/scripts/postman-sandbox/#environment-and-global-variables
When I add environment variables I can use them in my post body with {{varName}}. But this does not work for collection variables (Collection > edit > Variables tab)
With the settings as shown above, if I add {{firstName}} to my body it does not work. How can I access these collection variables in my posts?
Currently if I try to post postman will just hang for a while then give this error
Error: Script execution timed out.↵ at
ContextifyScript.Script.runInContext (vm.js:53:29)
If I use an environment variable or just type in a value it works fine.
Also, you need to make sure to save the request to the belonging collection before you can use it!
It turns out {{varName}} does work. The problem was in my pre-request script. The API I was connecting to requires a checksum on the body so it pre-processes the variables in the body, but it was not setup to handle collection variables. This was causing postman to fail. User error.
Hi Iam novice to Informatica, I tried to get the count of inserted rows to target to WF variable, So that I can write a condition to a link to proceed to next session.
I went through few web guides and found $PMTargetName#numAppliedRows.
But I didn't able to find this property under Built-in properties in Post session on success variable assignment.
Even I tried to assign a variable in mapping level with this property, but I am getting error like Invalid symbol reference.
$PMTargetName#numAppliedRows is NOT listed anywhere among any variables. Neither in built-in nor anywhere else. Still - you can use it. Just remember to replace the TargetName with the name of your target transformation, e.g.: if you insert data to AccountList table, you'd need to use the condition $PMAccountList#numAppliedRows. Hope this helps.
Please use this link workflow variable :-
Name: TgtSuccessRows
Desciption: Rows successfully loaded
Datatype: integer
But issue is you can not track data loaded for multiple targets.
