Whenever I try to add a new WebSocket request I am unable to actually save it. The little orange dot on the request’s tab remains indicating that it needs to be saved after I add one and start filling it out. However, when I click the “Save” or “Save As” buttons or try to press Command-S nothing happens. If I close the tab, I get prompted to save it before closing and if I click “Save” on this prompt the tab will close but it will not save and I loose everything I entered for it.

Please help, this is causing a huge issue as I need to work on documenting and testing our WebSocket services ASAP.

Hi @colin-84adcd29.

Can you confirm if this works for you now? I am unable to replicate it on my end, and it could be related to the AWS outage.
