Newbie here.

I have a few views that I am trying to modify for reuse with view properties. Trying to export the view, modify binding in the view JSON file then import back into my project.

Getting responses like this for modified JSON files. I assume there is a process to do this?

It’s probably easier to do do piecemeal modifications entirely from the designer. Shift + Right Click a view node and you can copy/paste the view JSON directly.
