Thanks for the bug report, @haijames! This is a known issue and we're researching a way to better enable this behavior, perhaps in #1116.

Just curious: are you saving the JSON because you want to be able to share your Kedro-Viz with others?

Actually I'm developing a feature that will read an excel that describe an ETL, then generating your json file template to use kedro viz

There's related work in #1263 for this, but we'll close it now as it isn't a priority.
