When bulk importing devices, if they don't have existing device types configured the error thrown doesn't say so:

The above might also get thrown for undefined software

What would be cool is if the bulk import noted device types and roles that weren't created and prompted for their creation or suggested similar existing ones if possible

Also, some of the 'optional' fields seem to be treated as mandatory such as 'face'
And, since updating to latest master and I am getting pushback on 'face' saying 'rear' is not a valid option
