If you manually edit the file you must take responsibility for ensuring it is correctly formatted. A Json format checker (such as jsonlin.com) can be used to check the format and this should ensure that the file can be correctly read. It doesn't however ensure that the correct format is used - users wanting to edit a specific table are advised to first configure the system with the UI and then use the format generated by the UI as a template for subsequent additions and changes.
