Person type fields have been mapped but the required field is missing. To continue import, map Person - First name or remove person type fields.

Hi @Ryan Guay
This means that somewhere in the mapping you did map a person type of field and therefore it's looking for the name to link it to. Be sure to skip your list and remove all person mapping.
If you can't figure it out please reach out to our support team via the in-app chat or [email protected] so they can guide you. Good luck!

Had the same issue and the reply just seemed to tell me what the problem was and not a solution.
What i think the issue is that there are blank fields in the import file and the system does not like fields with nothing in them. I had some with blanks that i would have liked to upload.
So u either populate all rows in ur import file (just fill in any value), or delete those columns in your import file to me is the answer that you were looking for.
Ideally the system should allow u to import the fields and have some them blank?
best regards

Ryan Guay and Ivor, I managed to jump over this obstacle by changing the "Name" in the right-hand column from "Name- Organization" to "Name - Product." Observe the tiny icon next to "Name" .
Very tricky! Hope this helps1 -
- Look for the person-first name field on the left
- Hover over the field to delete it by clicking the x

But this adds the imported fields as new products... I just need to import a list of emails... no way to do it. This is why I have to keep reverting back to Mailchimp and can't stick with pipedrive campaings.
