Some fields like creator and lastmodifier are lost after an xml import. (They are correctly set in the xml file) which results in the below miss behaviours:

• Users lost their personal spaces post xml import, and are unable to create a new one.
• Confluence questions sections are broken and no longer work post xml import.

Work around:
