How to debug a Ghost Universal Import failure?

Developer help Migrations
1

I created a zip that should be importing posts, users, and tags in Ghost. I followed the Universal Import documentation.

I got an email that says that the import failed, but no explanation why. I visited the log file below, and I see that there is a ValidationError, but I can’t figure out what causes it. Do you have any idea on how to troubleshoot this?

This is the log from ghost/content/logs/https___news_scambi_org__production.error.log.

Ghost version: 6.5.3.

Have a look at the message in your error:

message": "Value in [posts.custom_excerpt] exceeds maximum length of 300 characters.",

That’s regarding the posts with the IDs 691873d22e683b97fd697ef0 and 691873d22e683b97fd697ef5.
