Why is my field Epic Name not associated with Issue Type Epic?

[Rick Wahlberg]

My apparent problem is that I can't bulk load epics  See Picture.   How do i fix this?  I tried to edit it but it's locked and I can't 

Also note that if I edit the Epic, change issue type to Epic, then edit again, the Epic Name field pops up for data entry and I can enter it correctly, saving it and making it a viable candidate for bulk load of Epic stories and/or tasks. With a hundred or more epics, that's a lot of editing.

My problem seems to be different.  I made Epic the default type.

And I refreshed the browser

Used this load file

Still got this problem

Have you done an export of your current Epics to ensure your formatting of the CSV is all correct? This is a step i take when i run into import errors to ensure I havent overlooked a fields expected values in the Jira DB.
