[Environment Variables] Base environment tag not saved

[viico]

Expected Behavior

Tag body attribute saved when we change Request field.

Actual Behavior

When I change the Request in a tag (type Body Attribute) present in my base environment it is not saved. If i close the modal and reopen the request is still the one before à change it.

Reproduction Steps

1. Set a variable with a tag (type Body Attribute) in the base environment
2. Close the environment modal
3. Reopen the base environment and change the request in the tag
4. Close the environment modal
5. Reopen the base environment => it's not the new request selectec

Is there an existing issue for this?

One workaround is to modify the base environment (add / modify / remove another variable).

I have same issue here.

This issue only happens when you update a parameter on a function (tested with Body Attribute and a SHA512)

This is fixed by #6011 A workaround is to just click in the json and click back out of it to trigger the onBlur event.

This behaviour is recurring for me after upgrading to 2023.5.7. the onBlur workaround doesn't seem to help---none of my changes are reflected after closing the editing window.

The only way I have found to get it to change variables is to close Insomnia entirely after editing a variable and reload the whole app.

Hi, my precedent workaround didn't work for you ?

Creating a dedicated property for env variable update seems to be the best option currently.

{
  ...
  "dedicated_variable": "update this value if you only want to change env tags"
}

This appears to have reverted after upgrading to 8.5.0. To reproduce, I do an Edit Tag on an existing Response: reference values form other request's responses, then select a Request, then change the filter on Attribute: Body Attribute to the value $.access_token and verify Live Preview has a value, then click Done.

When I reopen, all my changes are gone.

Closing as this should now be fixed in 8.5.1 by #6941
Thanks everyone for the feedback and especially @mikebridge for bringing it up on the updates of the environment modal.
