Hello @nxfxcom,

I remember seeing this issue in the past but can’t remember what was the cause and is there fix. I tried searching for similar topic on forum but no luck. Maybe you can give a try or hopefully someone else will know more.

Error during import! CoreException: Could not write File - Potentially due to Icon file type

@Shardham what happened to your workflow is this: I have removed the fake “icons” payroll_split_file_v1.knwf (101.0 KB) payroll_qa_cycle2_v1.knwf (300.6 KB) KNWF files are just ZIP files - so you could open them, delete the empty icon files and then pack it again.
