Issue/Introduction

Colleagues on our Accessibility team are trying to upload defects from the auditor via Rally import feature and the "Owner" attribute is not uploading. We have checked the name, the spelling, lower case / upper case, spaces, etc. Nothing has worked. Please help guide us on how to properly include owner information in to the upload so that we can prevent these work items from having to be edited after the upload.
