Payment "The amount field is required."

[timwhite]

I believe this is similar issue to #4
I've exported from Invoice Plane, and when attempting to import to InvoiceNinja I get the following errors.

The following records failed to import, they either already exist or are missing required fields.
{"invoice_id":2,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":9,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":14,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":116,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":121,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":122,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":129,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":134,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":146,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":155,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":158,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}
{"invoice_id":159,"type":"payment","error":"The amount field is required."}

What is odd, is that some of those payments exist in the JSON file, and they do have the amount field! Checking in InvoiceNinja, those payments have failed to import. (There are payments that are missing, which is fine, but there should only be about 6 missing payments)

For example, invoice_id 2 and 9 payments:

Hmmm. On further inspection, it does appear that the payments have imported. I'll do more digging to work out if it's a false error message then.

[timwhite]

The best I can work out, it's a false positive. Happy to provide you (privately) my json export so you can do some testing and work out why. Otherwise, feel free to close the issue.

I had this same issue with mine... but they did import.
