this cognito pull is already hosting some real users. I can't delete it and recreate it using the cli. how do I effectively importing it so my local amplify cli would recognize this user pool?

Hey @Eliav2, thank you for reaching. we should be able to add the group using Amplify CLI by running amplify update auth and select Create or update Cognito user pool groups which should create a user pool group managed by Amplify CLI. Do remove the user pool group on the Amplify Studio before adding and pushing on AmplifyCLI to prevent any push failures.

Yes i know that deleting the pool from amplify studio and recreating it from cli would work. But i can't delete this pool. Does there is any way to 'pull' or 'import' this pool so amplify cli would recognize it?
After all, i can just create a new user pool directly from amplify studio. If amplify cli can't be aware of user pools created by amplify studio there should be a clear red warning that notify this or just removing this option completely from amplify studio.

Hey @Eliav2, you should be able to pull the user pool from studio but it appears pulling the user pool groups created on studio is currently not supported.
marking this as feature-request and transferring to amplify studio repository for tracking.
