createCollectionRequest

Information about the request. For a complete list of properties, refer to the **Request** property in the [Postman Collection Format documentation](https://schema.postman.com/collection/json/v1.0.0/draft-07/collection.json). **Note:** It is recommended that you pass the `name` property in the request body. If you do not, the system uses a null value. As a result, this creates a request with a blank name.
