Issue Summary

This is reproducible on Data Center: no

When attempting a large external import, the import might get aborted by the system due to certain unexpected problems. If the underlying cause is fixed, the import should resume (as it does for other types of imports such as CSV or JSON imports). However, for an external import, this process does not automatically resume. 

Steps to Reproduce

This can't be reproduced always as this occurs when an import is aborted unexpectedly. 

1. Follow steps 1-5 in this guide for external imports with a large amount of data

Expected Results

In the event that the import is unexpectedly aborted by the system and the underlying cause is subsequently addressed and a re-start is triggered, the import should resume automatically. 

Actual Results

In the event that the import is unexpectedly aborted by the system and the underlying cause is subsequently addressed and a re-start is triggered, the external import does not resume automatically. 

Workaround

The only workaround would be to carry out the external import again from scratch after confirmation from the support team that the underlying issue is fixed.
