Troubleshooting
Problem
You import artifacts into DOORS Next Generation (DNG) using CSV, without the required columns, and duplicate artifacts are generated.
The column requirement is documented in the IBM Documentation.
Exporting requirements artifacts to CSV and spreadsheet files

- Artifact Type
In DNG 702 iFix003 and later versions imports that do not have these columns are stopped with a message displayed, however this is not the case in earlier versions. To build a correctly formed CSV file for import, always export from a view that contains columns that correspond to the content to import.
Normally it would be possible to perform another CSV import to remove the duplicate entries by using the option, "Delete artifacts from the module which have been removed from exported file", however this operation does not delete the duplicate entries. This behavior is a limitation of the option.
Delete artifacts from the module which have been removed from exported file" is not supported if identical artifact IDs are reused twice in a module
Symptom
Modules with artifacts that are identical and have the same ID are generated. (It is possible to include the same artifact more than once in a module, but in this case the duplicates are unintended.)
