Hi, we have the issue that lens visualizations that have been loaded to Kibana via saved objects API are not editable via the UI afterwards.
For example on this dashboard, it's the "CarryPick - Picks per Workstation" visualization:
Editing via the side-tab works fine, but if we try to "edit in lens" there's simply a blank screen:
In the chrome developer console we can see some errors being logged regarding to lens:
There is no difference whether we upload the visualization to an empty Kibana environment or if the expected data exists: In both cases we can not edit the visualization in the lens editor.
The workaround is to click "Apply and close" in the side-tab editor, after which we can edit it in the lens editor again.
We have compared the JSON that is saved in kibana after we can edit in the lens editor again with the one that we upload and there are no significant differences.
This is the JSON that we load via the API:

This happens on the latest version of elasticsearch and kibana 8.14.1
Do you have any idea what's going on here?
Many thanks and best regards
