Hi

I just noticed that if you import a block group to a new project the block items will get renamed to unknown.

Hi,

This was a problem on the export side of things, and was fixed in 7.4.3. You should be able to fix your XML file by removing any lines that look like:

```auto
<Property name="NAME">Unknown</Property>
```

The name of the item should be contained in the “” element, and the additional property for “NAME” is unnecessary and incorrect.

Hope this helps,
