You cannot modify the macro definition JSON file outside of Alteryx Analytics Cloud.

Import

Tip: If you re-import a macro into the same instance that still contains the source macro, the imported version is named the same as the source and automatically versioned for you.

Steps:

Export the macro from the source system. See Export Macro.
Login to the import system, if needed.
In the left nav bar, click Library for Data.
In the Library for Data page, click Macros.
In the Macros page, click Import Macro.
Select the JSON file containing the exported macro.

Tip: You can import multiple macros at the same time. Select each JSON file in the dialog box that you wish to import. Press CTRL/COMMAND + click or SHIFT + click to select multiple macros for import.
Click Open.

The macro is imported and available in the Macros page.

To use an imported macro, enter macro in the Search panel. Select your macro and modify any macro inputs. For more information, see Apply a Macro.
