The command line import shows this message:

RuntimeError: Work group '...' does not exist, please create it first.
But the mentioned work group exists:
univention-ldapsearch -LLL cn=...
dn: ...
Environment (optional)
UCS 5.0-2 and later.
Solution
Broken group objects that lack the ucsschoolRole attribute cause this problem. The solution is to add the ucsschoolRole attribute which can be achieved by running:
udm groups/group modify --dn "..." --set ucsschoolRole="workgroup:school:..."
Or to automatically fix all school objects:
python3 /usr/share/ucs-school-import/scripts/migrate_ucsschool_roles --modify --all-objects
Background Information
The script mentioned in the solution should have already been run by a migration (35ucs-school-import.inst, version 19). If a group exists without the ucsschoolRole attribute, it’s probably because the migration was skipped or because the group was created manually without the attribute.
