Why can't the environment variables in one of my Collections reference the variables in the current environment?

[CCCCY98]

Expected Behavior

For example, I want to reference base_url in the api, which I can do in my other collections, but I cannot reference it in this newly created collection.

try removed the double quotes "" and instead type in base. I found on mac, the variable auto-complete can be ... funny ... I only include quotes if my values require them

Still can't reference it, but other than that, my other Collections can be referenced normally.

This can be fixed as long as we implement a check that prevents from circular references to be setup, a circular reference is a variable that references another variable which creates a circular reference:

{
  "var1": "hello {{var2}}"
  "var2": "{{var1}} world"
}

Prioritizing for 9.3.2 this week if we can fix it in time.

Hey @CCCCY98 and @alaz-aura this appears to be working as expected.
The reason you don't see the variables in the auto-complete is that you haven't selected that environment to be active.
If you make it active you should see the variables in the auto-complete as expected.
Closing for now but feel free to reopen if there is an issue for you
