Why create a duplicate bug of #13871?

@ekrichbaum if this is different from #13871, please rewrite it as a standalone bug report.

I have seen similar behaviour.
Netbox version: 3.6.2
Python version: 3.11.2

Steps to reproduce:

On the Virtualization --> Virtual Machines tab, go to Import, Upload File.
Choose CSV file created in Notepad++ containing the following data
name,status,role,site,cluster,device,tenant,platform,vcpus,memory
test-system,active,,europe-west3,,,Test,,2,8192
Set Format to Auto-detect or CSV, click on Submit.

Expected behaviour

A virtual machine named "test-system" is created, set to status "active", in site "europe-west3", in tenant "Test", with 2 VCPU and 8GB of memory.

Observed behaviour

The screen briefly flashes, no system is imported.

Notes

If the contents of the CSV is pasted into the Data box under Direct Import, no errors are displayed and the system is imported.

Sorry. Wasn't a duplicate. In the other bug, it occured from using the default paste of CSV data and actually displayed and error (though incorrect as to the issue). In this one, it is the file upload tab that fails with no visible error, just a screen flash, and no operation. I just used the same data and and base elements as my test subjects.

confirmed on 3.6.3. The other bug with location is fixed and unrelated to this upload bug. Other upload types of features like images do work.
