@technical-administ12 Thank you for reporting this issue. We have already pushed a fix for this. If you could try this URL again on a web app or the latest desktop app, the import flow should successfully import the collection 🙇‍♂️

In previous versions of postman, I have been able to import a collection by providing a URL to an API that produces swagger definitions . This does not appear to work form me in the new model.

This is the URL in question
