  **Experimental Script Import:** When importing Postman collections (v2.0/v2.1), Hoppscotch can now import pre-request scripts and test scripts as an experimental feature. You'll be prompted to consent to this import during the process. This enables seamless migration of your existing Postman workflows including their scripting logic with Chai.js-powered assertions through the `pm` namespace compatibility layer.
