Hi, I'm following a tutorial about LCA of PET bottle. I'm in the stage of importing an LCA method into 'Indicators and parameters' - 'Impact assessment methods'. However, I can't find the 'import' function, just 'export'. The video clearly shows there are 'import' function there but mine seems to be missing that one. Anyone has any idea how to fix this? Thank you very much.

(I already downloaded ecoinvent database and exported one of the LCA method - TRACI, I'd like to import it in the new database following the tutorial).

Well just import (e.g. JSON-LD)? We do not distinguish LCIA methods from other elements you can import, so export TRACI as JSON-LD and import it in the new database, this will work.

Edit in response to the comment: like this: right-click on the database, then import file, or other, then select JSON-LD:

Ok, I get it now, Ernie.  You right click on the database and import "other" and select the file.  It puts it in the  right place.  Done.  Thanks!
