when trying to import a dashboard the button “upload json file” is not working anymore. Nothing happens. I need to copy+paste the content of the json file into the import window instead. What Grafana version and what operating system are you using? Version 8.5.3 (409e9bc9a5) What are you tryi…

I am experiencing the exact same problem with version 8.5.3. An urgent solution is appreciated.

The same problem here. I was able to cycle trough buttons using TAB key and then click “Upload JSON file” window using ENTER key. New dashboard was imported OK. But later was not able to repeat the same action again. “Upload JSON file” button did not react at all.

I have the same issue with version 8.5.3

Thanks for this Tab Trick, successfully working fine with this trick.

tanx for the solution! works fine!! :slight_smile:

Does anyone know if there is a bug tracking this? I have not found one yet so far. The Tab workaround is ok for a short term solution. Thanks.

Fixed in later versions, just update your version of grafana
