Please advise.

Hi @misc981 we are sorry to hear you're facing this issue. Can you please share how you tried to import your data from Azure AI Search?

The error message “TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘configurations’)” typically occurs when you’re trying to access a property of an object that is null. This could happen if the object you’re trying to access hasn’t been initialized yet, or if it’s been set to null for some reason

Here are two ways to troubleshoot and fix this error:

1. Verify Data Source Configuration:

• In AI Studio, ensure you've correctly configured the connection to your Azure AI Search service. Double-check that the service name, endpoint URL, and API key are entered accurately.
• Make sure the AI Search index you're trying to import data from exists and is accessible.

2. Check Code for Null Checks:

• If you're using custom code for data import, review your script to ensure you've implemented checks for null values before accessing the "configurations" property. You can use conditional statements (like if statements) to verify if the object exists before accessing its properties.
