Hi,

I’m trying to import data from a self-hosted instance of Vikunja but I got an internal server error (500).

Thanks for your help!

Hi!

It looks like you have an archived namespace in the export and because of that it fails to import. That’s a bug. Until fixed, you could try to unarchive that namespace (on your self hosted instance), export it and import it in Vikunja.

Hi,

I don’t have any namespace archived.
