I am trying to edit the JSON code of a new Data Pipeline in Microsoft Fabric. After creating the pipeline and navigating to the JSON editor (View > View JSON code), I am seeing the message "Cannot edit in read-only editor." Should I be able to edit? If so, why am I seeing this error. If not, are there plans to enable this feature?

Unfortunately as of now the JSON is non editable and is only for read only purpose, because of which you are seeing that issue.
There is no fixed timeline as of now for this feature to be available but you can raise a request for that in ideas.
A work around would be to source control it in repo and update the JSON in the repo: this is just a guess would have to test it out
