Import Fails: It is not possible to import metadata from space A into space B

Problem

I get an error message when trying to import metadata.

It reads The import has failed. It is not possible to import metadata from space SPACEKEY-A into space SPACEKEY-B.

Solution

One condition for the import functionality is that the space keys between the exported space and the imported space match. Refer to the documentation to see which changes you need to make to import metadata from space A to space B.
