        Did you try to format the pasted text as JSON?

         

         

        Another possible solution, however tedious it is to work, is to start small with your custom JSON theme. Start with name and dataColors only. Apply that. If that works, create a COPY and add to that background. (But save your original in case this edited copy bombs out). AND, when making changes, do NOT copy and paste, type them out manually so as to avoid hidden special characters.
