Importing a collection now creates duplicate requests

[rmisiakexscientia]

Expected Behavior

When a collection is imported into an existing collection, any requests that already exist are updated/not modified, like 2023.1.0

Actual Behavior

Requests are duplicated

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a new collection
2. Create a new request
3. Export the collection to a file
4. Import the collection from the file into the same collection

You end up with a copy of the requests, previous versions of insomnia merged/updated the request rather than creating a duplicate

Is there an existing issue for this?

Same problem here - verified it working in v2023.1.0 this morning, then updated to v2023.2.0 where it doesn't work.

It seems the underlying import/export was changed around end of March by #5869

Windows

Operating System Version
Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2

Same problem here - we experienced the same behavior and noticed that the request ids aren't kept according to the values saved after export. Because we use environment variables with references to specific requests, we lose these references.

Additionally, when importing a collection along with the environment, we notice that the environments aren't imported either.

Both behavior in version 2023.2.0 as you refer, we started to use version 2023.1.0 to not have this behavior.
