Unable to edit files in Lookup editor (latest version)

We are using the latest version of lookup file editor (3.4.6) and Splunk cloud version (8.1.2012.1). 

I couldn't edit/save any of the lookup files in the lookup editor. I tried uploading the .csv, but now luck. 

I get an error saying " you do not have permission", although there are no issues with the permission as I have admin rights. when I tried to change the permission (for testing), I didn't let me save it. I'm getting the below error. 

  1. Splunk could not update permissions for resource data/lookup-table-files [HTTP 500] Splunkd internal error; [{'type': 'ERROR', 'code': None, 'text': "This handler does not support the 'edit' action and cannot be used for ACL modification."}.

Please suggest a remedy for this.

I am having the same issue. 

I can't edit any lookup table or create any. 

Receive the error: You do not have permission to edit this lookup file

Added the following capability to the "admin" role

                upload_lookup_files 

now I can edit the lookup tables.
