Cause

There is an issue with the XML code for structured documentation. 

Environment

Release: AUTWAB99000-11.2-Automic Workload Automation-Base Edition

Resolution

This issue is fixed in Automation Engine 11.2.8, which is available for download. The source environment would need to be upgraded before exporting the objects. 

If upgrading is not ideal, the workaround for this issue is to delete the extraneous "content" tags:
