Well best I can tell now it’s failing because a project by that name already exists. ---

Admittedly, I was importing the project several times and the duplicate name was my fault. However, for a clean start I uninstalled and installed today’s build and the only thing I’ve done on that gateway is import the project with the same results; gateway says it could not import the project but resides in the project list. Here are the gateway logs: [Ignition-Ignition\_logs\_20190320-1502.zip](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/c/c1cf42040646e627fef8293995870e00f2012ba1.zip) (22.7 KB) ---

Hi, I am also experiencing the same problem for using ignition 8.0.1. I am trying to import a ver 7.9.9 project file, which i named it **Osea** but it gave me the below error: ![ImportError](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/a/a7705d21f42aa60177f6c2289d86b3ad2c1958bd.png) Before I import the file, the status of the project in my ignition gateway is shown below: ![BeforeImportErrorStatus](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/0/0c46ce5d73d58112aa050dbccf9ad366c274f0fb.png) After the import error, I went back to my project table, the Osea project appeared in the table: ![AfterImportErrorStatus](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/c/cb8d9ae5fa735241e0eaa8da46bfe0a5f2ca0929.png) What also surprised is that I can open the project file and edit in designer. Anyone could advise why is it so ? ---

@ngchonghan Were there any errors in the gateway logs that you could post to help give us more of an idea what went wrong? Thanks, Jonathan C ---
