Hi All

I am having an issue with importing requirements into an EA cloud repository from a csv file. I get the following error:

Bad object type or Profile Metatype when creating new record of type ''

Searching these forums and google, the only suggestion I found was that I need to include the Type field and ensure each one has the type "requirement". However I have done this and still get the Error.

It appears to be an issue with the specific repository (I am working on a cloud repository), I tried creating a new local repository and importing into that works as expected with the same csv files / import specification.

Have you tried connecting to your repository though a direct database connection instead of though the Procloud server?
That might make a difference

I think it indicates there is a type <blank>

Do you have as ,any fields in your csv as you have specified in the import?
For a requirements example I once imported I used the headers as well
