power bi service + cannot use import model to create new dataflow from json file

I have tried a couple of times since last week, with different browser (edge, chrome) and in normal and private mode but I cannot import a json file to create a new dataflow in power bi service (I did it succesfully like 2 weeks ago on the same laptop, browser and account)

 

Does anyone experience the same issue?

 

Thanks,

 

P/s : the json file is the one I exported from power bi service, in which I modified the code.

Hi @leed ,

 

1. Please tell me what modifications you have made to the code. Please ensure that the modifications made to the JSON file do not introduce any grammatical errors or structural problems.

Thanks @Anonymous I did redownload another flow json file, modify and did the upload and it worked this time. I guess I did something wrong last time which caused the file didn't want to upload 🙂
