import error when the author is not importer under redmine 2.3.2

[fengyedou]

Hi, I am applying this plug-in, and it really helps us so much, but one strange issue occurs, when Iimport the issues, error messages are:

•Warning: The following data-validation errors occurred on issue 1 in the list below
•Error: parent_issue_id can't be blank
•Error: estimated_hours can't be blank
•Warning: The following data-validation errors occurred on issue 2 in the list below
•Error: parent_issue_id can't be blank
•Error: estimated_hours can't be blank

But the 2 fields: parent_issue_id, estimated_hour are not mandatory fileds for the new issues, why there are such messages?

More strange is when I change the "author" to me, the import can be sucessfull, so I am wondering author in the csv file shall be the importer or not?

I found such info. in the wiki.

Author: The author of the ticket. It's rarely necessary to supply this, because it will default to the user who does the upload.

Can the author be set to non-importer in the csv file?

Thank you.

Hi Fengyedou,

Please share the excel used to import issues into Redmine.

"Can the author be set to non-importer in the csv file?" Yes, you need to pass user's login in Author column

waleedjaffar, thanks for chiming in. I haven't actively worked on the importer in a couple years, but another thing to check is whether the importing user has all permissions for the given project(s), particularly when creating issues that don't belong to you.
