The post is about fixing the import issue, “The entity relationship role of the referencing entity is required when creating a new one-to-many entity relationship vr_processstage_workflow”.

The problem is mainly with two deprecated fields in Process entity in this scenario. However there are few similar incidents/scenarios reported and seeking solutions in the forums.

The Fix:

  1. Open the CRM solution and navigate to Entities->Process->Fields.
  2. Find the fields, stageid and traversepath under the fields.
  3. Delete both the fields.

Publish the solution, export and try import again.
