Hi all,

Hope you are well and safe!

My question is surround the VS Code extension - kdb by KX. I have looked over the documentation and while the page on importing connections is detailed, there is unfortunately no example file provided as to how this JSON should look like, and any attempt at uploading leads to the error: "Invalid JSON format".

I managed to get a CSV of the 'Processes Library' from my server's control page, but unsure of how to transform this data into a JSON that can ingest the connection details and categorise them under labels.

Any help with this would be great, as I would greatly enjoy being able to move variables between connections via the IDE.

Thanks in advance!
