I was working with this view today, after making my edits i closed the view. When i tried to open it again, it gave this error, and th eonly way i've found to resolve it is to load an earlier backup of the view, but the changes i make are lost. Is there any other way to resolve this?

2

What's actually in the view JSON file?

3

NULL values. Does that mean it got corrupted?
