Importing Json, Doesn't Show up in Resources

so i decided to update MCreator so i can add custom models into my mod using GeckoLIB but i notice when importing Json files it no longer adds to the Resources tab.

i thought i was a visual bug at first so i closed and reopened the software, nope still not there so i did some digging around in the folders where my project is, my file cannot be found at all

turns out it doesn't even import the json it just looks like it does i even emailed MCreator but no reply at the moment (been 2 weeks at this stage)
