Body: <p>I'm trying to import custom fields from one civiCRM installation (on Drupal 7x) to another (WordPress, civi 5.52) using the &quot;Import Multi-value Custom Data&quot; tool. All my column names in the downloaded cvs file line up with custom fields in the new installation. Multi-Value Custom Data appears as a drop down list but the list is empty (there is nothing to select).
  When I try to import the data an error claims &quot;Multi-Value Custom Data is a required field&quot;.
  What am I doing wrong?

  You will need to select Multi-value custom data field to import. If the field is not populated then check the custom group if it is multi-value.
