Hallo @Neelam_Zanvar

Does this documentation answer your question?

> **[Import objects API | Kibana Guide \[8.5\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-import.html)**
>
> Conceptual and step-by-step procedures for using runtime fields, scripted fields, and field formatters.

Yes, it looks like there is something wrong with the "Copy as cURL".

Try

```nohighlight
curl -X POST http://localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/_import?createNewCopies=true -H "kbn-xsrf: true" --form file=@file.ndjson -u <usename:password>

```

And ensure you have a file `file.ndjson` in the directory where you are sending the request from. Also note this request assumes you have Kibana running on localhost.
