Dataflow Unexpected Error

Hello,

 

I have several dataflows in my premium-backed workspace, and they've been working as expected since I developed them last month.  I went to edit the source of one of them yesterday, and I'm now getting a generic "Unexpected Error" with a session id.  The source step is a simple merge step between two elements that I brought in from an on-prem Oracle datasource.  That data loads as expected, the refresh schedule is working, but anytime I try to update the source step or add another merge, I get the generic Unexpected Error message. 

 

This appears to be a problem in several of my dataflows, and I've tried the usual steps of clearing cache and using different browsers (chrome, Edge, and FF).  Anyone else running into this problem?  Any ideas how to get more useful information than just "Unexpected Error"
