Import of Collections results in Error: New Requests missing parentId

[hi2avinash]

Expected Behavior

The insomnia import tool ought to have imported the entire collection set without throwing any errors.

Actual Behavior

The import fails with the message. Error: New Requests missing 'parentId'. Noticed that in the JSON file, the parentId for "workspace" resources types was null. Tried to replace the "parentId": null with "parentId": "proj_scratchpad" but that didn't help.

Reproduction Steps

1. Launched Insomnia 10.3.1 on my corporate laptop having Windows 11
2. Logged into Insomnia account
3. Exported the entire collections under the sole insomnia project. There are ~20 workspaces. A ~76 MB JSON file was created
4. The laptop was reset/reimaged
5. Reinstalled Insomnia after laptop was re-imaged.
6. Launched Insomnia 10.3.1 and logged in
7. Proceeded to import the Collection

It only managed to import requests from one collection "TAZ" for which it initially reported error during import. Requests from other collections are missing.

I've also come across this issue. Importing from an export I made in oct. 2024.

I had 2 versions of that export (json & yaml) both report the same issue:

Error: New Requests missing `parentId`

Just as described by @hi2avinash, only a few requests are imported, then all subsequent collections end up empty.

Here's the source version: __export_source: insomnia.desktop.app:v2022.7.0
