In Postman, is there an easy way to change the athorisation of all request in a collection? (lemm.ee)

I get postman exports from students which I use to check their work. The authorisation of those requests now often contain hardcoded jwt tokens that are invalid by the time I get to checking them and I have to change every individual request with a global variable.

I do instruct my students to use variables, but there's always a couple who just don't, but that's a whole different issue.

Right now I'm using a regex find and replace to remove the Request authorization header in the json export file (which than defaults to 'inherit from parent'). This sort of works, but isn't ideal.

Do any of you know if postman offers an easier solution for this?

I can't get it to works as of yet, but this looks great. I'll give it another try tomorrow.
