[Mark Spohr <mhspohr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have had problems importing in earlier versions of DHIS but I am
about at the point with my current project where I need this to "just
work".
I have exported CSV records from an instance and then been unable to
re-import the same records.
I do hope this gets sorted out.
I'll be working on setting up a new v2.8 instance and trying to import
again and I'll report my progress (or lack thereof).
My greatest frustration has been the lack of comprehensible error
messages and intelligent error handling.  When it fails, it would be
good to get a nice log of the problem (the record where it failed, the
cause of the failure) and it would be nice if it would attempt to
continue with the rest of the records.  Past error logs have been very
generic and difficult to sort out.
