Restoring/re-importing variables stored as JSON-file from Github back into Sense

[retretrt]

I have stored dimensions, variables, measures and fields following the recipe in this article CI/CD pipelines for Qlik Sense apps with automatio... - Qlik Community - 1860837. These are stored as a base64-encoded json file in Github. How do i re-import/restore these items into Qlik Sense again using automations? The items belong to an app, which i have also restored but I am not able to restore these other artefacts using Qlik automations. 

See attached PNG (1) of my attempt with relevant blocks for importing the json-file marked in red, and details of the specific Get Variable block. See also PNG-excerpt (2) of how my JSON file looks in Github

Looks like you haven't gotten an answer to this, but I am wondering if perhaps you've figured it out on your own. I have been messing with importing app to qlik from git. When I import the qvf using the NEW mode it gives me the qvf as I expected it to look with 2 sheets and 1 table on each sheet. I have another version of the app, actually the one that was originally exported to github, but I made some changes, added a couple more sheets and charts. When I use the automation and choose the autoreplace mode the app seems to be as it was before with the additional sheets and charts, not as I would expect it to be based on the specific commit referenced version I am importing with only 2 sheets and charts.

Definitely need a way to import an old version of an app and keep the attributes/app ID the same but have it go back to the way the qvf was before we made edits.
