Workaround

1. Unzip the exported XML

   $ unzip xxx.zip
   

2. Confirmed the line in entities.xml which needs to be fixed

   $ grep -n '<english-custom-field-name>' entities.xml \
   | grep '<CustomField id='
   

   Please replace <english-custom-field-name> with the one you saw in the UI error

3. Check the Japanese translation of the custom field

   $ grep '<english-custom-field-name>' entities.xml \
   | grep '<CustomField id=' \
   | cut -d '"' -f 2 \
   | xargs -I{} grep "jira.translation.custom.fieldcustomfield_{}.name.ja_JP" entities.xml \
   | cut -d '"' -f 2 \
   | xargs -I{} grep '<OSPropertyString id="{}"' entities.xml \
   | cut -d '"' -f 4
   

   Please replace <english-custom-field-name> with the one you saw in the UI error

4. Replace row #2 name=xxxx to result of #3
5. Recreate the XML

   $ zip xxx-fixed.zip activeobjects.xml entities.xml
   

6. Import xxx-fixed.zip as usual
