0This test verifies that a user can duplicate an existing request in Postman and move the duplicated request to a different collection. It checks that the duplicated request exists in the target collection and retains the original request's details.

| Step | Action | System State | Assertion | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Test starts and browser opens Postman web app | Browser shows Postman web app login or main page | — | PASS |
| 2 | Navigates to 'Source Collection' in sidebar | 'Source Collection' is expanded showing requests | Check 'Source Collection' is visible and clickable | PASS |
| 3 | Finds and clicks on 'Test Request' in source collection | 'Test Request' details panel opens | Verify 'Test Request' is selected | PASS |
| 4 | Clicks on request options button | Options menu for 'Test Request' is visible | Options menu contains 'Duplicate' option | PASS |
| 5 | Clicks 'Duplicate' to create a copy of the request | Duplicated request named 'Test Request Copy' appears in source collection | Duplicated request is present in source collection | PASS |
| 6 | Drags and drops duplicated request to 'Target Collection' | 'Test Request Copy' is moved under 'Target Collection' | Duplicated request is no longer in source collection but in target collection | PASS |
| 7 | Clicks 'Target Collection' and verifies duplicated request details | 'Test Request Copy' details panel is open | Request method is 'GET' and URL is 'https://api.example.com/data' | PASS |
