Adding New Contacts - Error Message "Source Invalid"

[Stacieb1]

I have tried several times to add about 30 new contacts to one of my lists and each time I get an error message right after I click import saying "Source Invalid". It'll work when I enter a couple at a time but not when I try to add all of them at once. Why is there an error message when I've done nothing different?

Hi @Stacieb1,

So sorry you are having issues uploading contacts!  That particular error is a new, known issue.  Our developers are working hard to get that issue fixed, but in the meantime, the workaround is to create a file of the contacts and upload the file.  I will add you to that issue report so you can be notified when it is fixed.

If you have any further questions please feel free to reach out to us here. We are always happy to assist you in any way we can!

The same thing is happening to me right now.  I can't even add 4 contacts in and am getting sick and tired of re-entering contacts.  I had 50 loaded and got that error message "Source Invalid". If this was noticed 4 days ago then someone is not getting things done in a timely manner expected of clients paying big money to have a professional and efficient server function the way it is expected.
