Description

JIRA

Currently, when you open a request for collection, you always have to first set the environment.

I suggest we have a default environment that will be used upon opening a request collection if user didn't set anything. It can be settable either in collection properties (selecting existing environment) or in environment config (ticking a default checkbox).

This way, executing requests can be made to work immediately upon opening them and CLI will work without mandatory --env parameter.

Research direction
This issue requests a default environment to be used when opening a request collection, eliminating the need to manually select an environment each time. To implement, examine how the current environment selection state is managed (likely in a store like Redux or Zustand) and how the CLI handles the env parameter. The change involves adding a default environment setting in collection properties or environment config, then persisting and applying it when no explicit environment is chosen.
