Describe the problem/error/question

when I upload the json file for the workload which has been checked to the correct format. Nothing happens. The workflow doesn't appear and I don't receive any error message.

What is the error message (if any)?

Hey @dylang001,

We have created an internal ticket to look into this which we will be tracking as "N8N-8155"

Hey @dylang001

As there are a couple of ways to add a workflow to n8n can you share the steps you are taking to import?

There are also multiple ways to get a workflow out of n8n can you share how you exported it?

Hi Jon, I have a JSON file and have followed the workflow import guidelines. I’m importing it via file on a clean workflow editor ui. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks,

Hey @dylang001

Perfect thanks, and how did you generate the json file was it from the editor export, api export or cli export?
