JSON import to JIRA 7.1.2 (Server) - how to account for project type?

[Rose Cruz]

Regarding JIRA Software (Server) v7.1.2 - having issues with importing JSON file. Used the JSON format example on the page Importing data from JSON. I experienced the bug (JIM-1668): JSON project "type" is required for jira 7 and not marked as ignorable. I also read that the documentation has not been updated to account for Project Types (JRA-45676). Can someone provide an update?

Thanks for the quick response Petar. Where does the property go exactly in the json file, can you provide an example?

            "key": "ASM",
            "description": "JSON file description",
			"type": "software",
            "versions": [
