Executing the Script I get the following error:

@benjamindahl Same for me. The Python script seems to expect this JSON structure:

    "DisplayAnyUserSets": {
        "Configs": [
            {
               "DisplayConfig": [
                    {
                        "UnmirrorInfo": {
                           "IsLink": false,
                           ...                    
                        },
                        ...

but for me, the structure is actually

    "DisplayAnyUserSets": {
        "Configs": [
            [
                {
                    "UnmirrorInfo": {
                        "IsLink": false,
                        ...
                    },
                    ...

i.e. each item in the Configs list is already a "DisplayConfig", i.e a list of "DisplaySets".

It worked for me after I changed

    DisplayConfig = configs['DisplayConfig']

to just

    DisplayConfig = configs

in line 12 of edit_json.py.
