The field "password" should only be required when "internal" auth is
selected. At other times, no internal Mahara password is needed. When
accounts have already been created with internal auth, it is OK to leave
the password out as people already have a password. That did work in the
past.

Title:
  Export/import of users

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I export users (select them in Users section of Administration
  and then get report and from report page download CSV file) and try to
  import them to another Mahara instance I get CSV file error.

  This is probably due additional fields being exported even though they
  are not selected/checked by default at report page.

  The import of users work only when additional fields are deleted from
  the CSV file and additional field "password" is added.

  I believe the export shoud be changed so only selected fields would be
  exported.

  Tested this on Mahara 19.10, but encountered the same behaviour in
  19.04 and earlier ...

  Attached is the first version of export CSV file. When I tried to import users from that file I got the following errors:
  - The field name "quotapercent_format" is invalid, or you have more fields than your header row specifies
  - The field name "lastlogin" is invalid, or you have more fields than your header row specifies
  - The field name "probation" is invalid, or you have more fields than your header row specifies

  After that I also got:
  - A required field "password" has not been specified in the format line
  which is reasonable since the CSV file should contain passwords for new users.
