PGN game import is completely broken

When trying to load a game from file, I can see the loading icon for a few seconds and then it goes back to the initial page. It says that to keep the variations from the pgn, the file should be loaded from a study. But inside a study there is no option to load pgn??

I tested in several browsers, all of them presents the same problem. My main browser is Brave, latest version:
Version 1.68.137 Chromium: 127.0.6533.100 (Official Build) (x86_64) running on a MacOS
@bufferunderrun You are right, I missed this. But even so, I can't load a PGN which contains several sidelines and commentaries. That's a shame, even on chess.com we can do this :/

I can only load single games pgns.
To troubleshoot it would help if you could paste a minimal example of a pgn that you cannot import. Try to reduce it to the smallest number of moves where you still observe the problem.
If you cannot add a PGN to a study, this is most likely because your PGN is malformed.
If you meant that you couldn't import the file with the comments using the import function, this is done deliberately, because unlike studies that can be private, imported games are accessible to anyone and analysis and annotations can be subject to copyright.

The PGN is not malformed because I can load it perfectly on chess.com . I tested several times creating a study, setting it to private and then loading it... nothing happens. The file is kinda big for me to post here in the forum, if you guys have any idea how can I share this with you guys let me know.

Just because it does, doesn't meant it isn't.

Rentry, PrivateBin or some other PasteBin alternative.
