Jira is locked for import but no import could be found.

[Maxim Maximov]

Hi all,

I was exporting Jira from the Server to our test cloud instance. Import took some time and eventually finished with the error: "Jira is locked for import but no import could be found. This is likely to be a temporary issue and should clear up within one minute. If you continue to see this error, please contact support."

I have no more options to fix it except 'Try again' which does not work too.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I did export from Jira Server 8.6 to fresh Cloud instance.

If you read the bug, it is related to special characters to the users or imported data.

Hi @brbojorque 

Thank you for you fast reply. 

Suggested by you solution could not be even evaluated in my cloud instance. I am getting redirect to the page  Without any option to re-upload new backup file.
