[Error] FrontEndUsers import

Does anyone have a specification for the csv files to import?

I am now in the ridiculous situation where FEU doesn't import its own exports.

To clarify:

1.) Log in to admin, browse to FEU, browse to admin.
2.) Use export feature to export csv.
3.) Import unedited, unaltered, unadalterated csv as the very next thing that I do.
4.) Error about setting user properties (with no description or trace to the error).

the exported csv doesn't have the "password" field into the header

In my opinion the "password" field has to exist, and has to be filled with a value. Help of modules says that a password "changeme" will be used to fill, but this doesn't work for me.

try creating ONE USER this way with notepad ++

##userid,username,password,createdate,expires,groupname,"my_addedfield1","my_addedfield2","my_addedfield3"

,john@email.com,anypassword,2011-12-14,2015-12-14,members,"sometext1","sometext2","sometext3"

addedfiels are to be defined before importing, and filled with proper values ( valid as you define them)
flag "Ignore UserID Column on Import"

bye
