Import Error: Required parameter missing
October 05, 2007, 09:41:52 pm
I'm having issues importing membership records and have run out of ideas for why this is happening. It gets through each stage until you actually begin the import. Then all records error with the same message: required parameter missing. But it doesn't tell what parameter is missing, and for the life of me, I don't know what's causing it.

I thought there might be certain required fields in the membership section or something, but my data fills almost all the available fields. I checked my contact matching settings. I changed the default settings to be FName, LName and external id.

I've done this before with no problems. Anyone familiar with that error message and what it might refer to?

One approach might be to do a membership export. Then make sure every column is duplicated in your import. If you populate every column and it works you might be able to triangulate in on what is missing.

The problem was entirely mine. The field with the problem was the membership type field. The data exported was not identical to the membership type fields setup in CiviCRM. Makes sense that this field would be a required parameter. But it might be useful to add that fact to the import error page on the documentation wiki.

Brian - I'm not sure which page you're referencing. It would be great if you would add the information about that error msg to the wiki. :-)

I get "Required Parameter Missing" when trying to import a membership. I match on contact id and I have the name of the membership type as a text string in a field that I map to "membership type". No other fields. Oh and I use a swedish locale so the field membership type is called "Typ av medlemsskap" but that should not matter right?

What am I missing?

If I match on email address instead the import works great. The problem is that not all members have an email address.

FYI, I was able to successfully backport this fix to 2.0 by copying changed lines from these:
