    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      When importing a project from a CSV with some field required by a validator on the destination project, JIRA displays a generic message on the screen

      Import completed with ## errors:

      • Error importing issue ExternalIssue
        Unknown macro: {externalId=XXXXX, summary=XXXXXX,...}

      If you look into the JIRA logs, you can find a clear error stating the 'Work Type' is required
