  Ensure that each function import has a unique name within the service.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the Service:
  
  After making changes, regenerate the service by right-clicking on the project and selecting "Generate Runtime Objects".
  This will update the service definition and ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Test the Service:
