I'm importing data from another Plone 5.2.10.2 instance with the same products and versions. All of the content has imported happily, but the "metadata" exports (default docs, position in folder, portlets etc.) are all failing with this error.
The thing that baffles me is that this content was imported into its current instance in exactly the same way - I'm unable to identify a difference in products, versions or process.
The lack of hits when Googling the problem suggests to me that I'm doing something daft - can anyone help me understand what?
The traceback on screen and in the event log is: -
Traceback (innermost last):

It was indeed something daft!
The non-content exports offer a choice of whether to download the JSON
to the local machine or save to a file on the server.
In the import step, there is a "universal" form for uploading various
sorts of content, and separate import forms for each sort of metadata,
none of which allow the use of files on the server.
Needless to say, the difference is that when I have not been paying
sufficient attention, given that all my files were on the server, I have
been attempting to use the content form for metadata. Doing all the
content import export on the server, but using the local machine for the
metadata imports and exports works fine.
I feel like a lemon now, but hopefully this note will save someone else
a little time.
