Hi Guys,
I have a vRA 7 environment where I am trying to import some VMs using the Bulk Import feature which doesn't seem to be working. I have already applied the patch in KB2144526 to no avail (not really related to my issue anyway).
Example - two VMs:

Both additional IPs have been added to the Network Profile (10.10.0.100 / 10.10.0.103)

I also included the following from the Release Notes

I have created the resulting CSV with the following content (auto generated) and added the above suggestion and also the network mapping as per official documentation
Edit Virtual Machine CSV Data File
# Import--Yes or No, Virtual Machine Name, Virtual Machine ID, Host Reservation (Name or ID), Host To Storage (Name or ID), Deployment ID, Converged Blueprint ID, Component Blueprint ID, Blueprint (Name or ID), Owner Name[, Property Name, Property Value, (H|N)(E|O)(R|P)]* Where (H|N) - Hidden/Not Hidden; (E|O) - Encrypted/Not Encrypted; (R|P) - Runtime/Not Runtime. e.g. HOP = Hidden & Not Encrypted & Not Runtime

The import itself succeeds

But the virtual machine remains unassigned to a Blueprint

We need to get this working as we will need to perform the import with a high profile client and thus far we have not managed to import one virtual machine successfully.
I have then had another look at the lines and there are three Blueprint related entries in the CSV
Converged Blueprint ID, Component Blueprint ID, Blueprint (Name or ID)
The generated CSV has the following entries
Win2012R2Std,Server2012R2Std,system_blueprint_vsphere
This is based on the generated form here :

I have tried to replace
system_blueprint_vsphere
With the Blueprint name manually (tried both name and ID) , but the import simply fails

The name should be correct as it has been auto-populated as you can see above.
Could someone please point me into the right direction as to how we can get this resolved prior doing so in a production environment ?
