I assume you are using Import/Export functionality of the "Import/Export issues" plugin which is part of the Mantis standard delivery.
This plugin exports and imports issues in it's own XML format, but is not able to import Excel files.

Right

You could try the following plugin (never tried myself) to import CSV https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/csv-import

Did you follow the installation instructions https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/csv ... s-importer ?
Especially the step "Rename the folder to Csv_import"

hank you very much for your helpful information,
I have another question.

As for handling unique identifications which aren't numbered by system when initial CSV file import, is there something method to number the
intensification automatically.

Ryu,
Kind regards

@Ryu, Please start a new thread on this topic...
In your new thread, please tell us: Do you mean you Do want to use IDs in the CSV, or that you do Not want IDs from the CSV.
See this other thread about numbering. You might need to use a similar solution.
If you want Mantis to work differently, use or create a plugin. Visit the Plugins forums.
Ask developers to create a plugin that you need - and motivate them to help you!
