Observed Behavior

Error message:
Row 1 rack: Object not found.
Row 1 position: Enter a whole number.
Row 1 face: Cannot select a rack face without assigning a rack.

on a side note, the device export shows a wrong header for racks ('rack_name' instead of 'rack')

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Sep 29, 2020):

Your CSV data is out of order:

name,device_role,tenant,manufacturer,device_type,platform,serial,asset_tag,status,site,rack_group,rack,position,face,comments
testswitch,Switch,,Cisco,WS-C2960X-48FPS-L,IOS,,,Active,Testsite,GroupA,10,Rack1,Front,

Your columns headers read site,rack_group,rack,position, but the data is ordered as site, rack group, position, rack name, hence the error messages. (The order of the columns doesn't matter, but the headers and data need to match.) Please post to our mailing list if you need any further assistance with this matter.
