I’m getting an “Invalid parent wbs reference” when importing a CSV file to an existing ProjectPlace plan.  WBS 21.4 exists as an Activity in the Plan.  I want to import activities under 21.4 so my line items in my CSV file are number numbered “21.4.1”, 21.4.2”  (and so on) in the CSV file.  There are no extra spaces nor any periods at the end.  What am I doing wrong?
