I do a backup of the cloud JIRA and then I try to do a import of the project and I get the following Errorss

Errors The data mappings have produced errors, you can not import this project until all errors have been resolved. See below for details. Custom Field Configuration The custom field 'Epic Colour' of type 'Color of Epic' is required for the import but does not exist in the current JIRA instance.... but I dont see any type "Color of Epic" please help

Hi John,

Have you attempted to simply create the Custom Field to check if the import will proceed?
