Hello,

I am unable to import a flow from a package file due to an issue on the "Review Package Content" screen. The interface is not saving my connection selections, which prevents the import from completing.

Goal:
I am trying to import a scheduled flow from a definition.json file. The flow uses SharePoint and Office 365 Outlook connections.

Steps Taken:

I created a template scheduled flow in Power Automate.
To ensure the manifest would be correct, I added a SharePoint ("Get item") and an Office 365 Outlook ("Get my profile") action to this template.
I exported this template as a package (.zip file).
I unzipped the package, replaced the definition.json with my own, and correctly re-zipped the contents (manifest.json and Microsoft.Flow folder).

The Problem:
When I upload the final package, the import screen correctly shows the flow and the two required connections (SharePoint and Office 365). However, when I try to configure them:

I click "Select during import" for a connection.
I choose my existing connection, or I create a brand new one by signing in.
The red icon briefly disappears and then returns as a grey box with an 'X'. It never turns into a green checkmark.

Because the connections won't map successfully, the "Import" button remains greyed out or fails with a PackageFlowMissingConnectionMap error if I am able to click it.

Troubleshooting Already Performed:
I have already tried all of the following steps, and the issue persists:

Used different browsers (Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome).
Used InPrivate/Incognito mode for all attempts.
Cleared all browser cache and cookies.
Deleted the SharePoint and Office 365 connections from my account (Data -> Connections) and created fresh ones during the import process.

It seems to be a UI or platform bug where the selections are not being registered. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known workaround?

Thank you for any help you can provide.
