Hi Alexandre - thank you very much for this collection!
This is actually a bug in Joomla when running php 8.x and should be fixed with this PR in Joomla: joomla/joomla-cms#40610 - you could test this actually :-)

There are other small bugs in the Joomla API - i'm working on them now at the moment. For instance language overrides.

And i'm working on a update of your collection which does has test scripts for updating variables for later use.
Can you tell me how to share my fork - if export i get a json file - you have a file named "index.yaml" - i don't know how to generate this.
Thank you for you work

Hi Martin. @MacJoom Thanks for your kind words. Unfortunately I only work on open source projects like this postman collection on my spare time. what i suggests you to do is to ask on the postman discussion forum community. i think there is a tool they made to convert a postman collection to openapi format (the yaml you saw). Here is the link to the proposed tooling postman team suggests to use for that purpose https://www.postman.com/postman/workspace/postman-open-technologies-convert-postman-collections-into-openapi/overview. I would really like to help you more but that's all i can do for now. Take care and have a delightful day.
