BulkEdit error message: WARNING: Required data does not exist on line 2 - module_name

Hi, I'm trying to import control modules in Bulk and when I import it gives the following error: WARNING: Required data does not exist on line 2 - module_name

It repeats this for the number of lines in the import. However, I do have module names in the file for each line so I don't see why it is giving me this error. Has anyone else experienced this?

  The imort format specification file can specify certain fields which must already exist in the configuration to allow import. I suspect that you are trying to create new modules that don't exist using a format file that says that the module name must exist. The error message is referring to the non-existence of the module name in the configuration, not in the data file.
  
  If you decide to edit the format file, I have found that the checkboxes on the dialogue for the "Must exist" fields do not represent what is in the format file - they just default to some settings. To be sure, look at the format file in Notepad. The line beginning "must_exist" shows which fields must exist.

  That was the issue thanks! I edited the fmt file to remove the module name from the must_exist section and it worked.
