as shown in this screenshot, the dynamic content does not show up and I cannot edit the content.
The same problem for all ADF activities / steps
And the same problem for all browsers and even incognito mode
Also tried to restart my computer and connect to different networks
It works on a different computer.
Not sure how to debug or diagnose the problem
Thanks in advance for any advices and help!

what region / do you have git integrated ?
what permissions do you have in it ?anything could be helpful to recreate the issue and provide a fix or work around

I believe this is an issue affecting multiple users for the past 24 hours. All of my colleagues are facing the same issue.
We are able to see the dynamic content in the Source code of the activity. But the Add dynamic content box behaves like its disabled. We believe it is a UI bug.
Our Data Factory is in the West Europe 2 resource group and has git integration with Azure DevOps. -

From what clues you have provided, I can narrow down possible causes.
Since you tried multiple browsers, and all had this behavior, this problem is not browser-specific.
Given you saw in multiple browsers and computers, it is unlikely to be white-text-on-white-background. (That happened once because of user settings.)Given this applied to all PhillipJohann's colleagues, a network restriction might be blocking the UI from loading libraries or some other request.
A lack of responsiveness likely indicates the javascript had an error. I'm not sure whether permissions could cause 'disabled' behavior. Need to test.To narrow down further, please turn on the 'developer console' or whatever the browser calls the part which displays error messages and network activity. Reload the page, then open the dynamic content and check for error messages or failed network activity.
If this was caused by a change in Data Factory, I would expect to see more people reporting this issue. I recommend also opening a support ticket if you have a support plan.

Not sure if this is helpful. I agree with MartinJaffer that this is a UI bug

Do we have an update to this? This is affecting our production projects.
I also see the same issue highlighted in the below Questions but without a concrete solution that could be replicated.
