Just for clarification, which forms designer (Classic or Responsive) are you importing from?  Also, which forms designer (Classic or Responsive) are you importing the XML file into?

You are only able to export and import a Classic form into a Classic form (and New Responsive to New Responsive. You can not export and import a Classic form into the New Responsive designer (and vice versa).

I’m assuming you’re going from a Nintex 2016 to Nintex 2016 environment? Are you exporting and importing from a list to list or library to library?  Have you tried exporting and importing into a test empty list/library?

Hi, I am trying to import from classic to classic .From 2016 version to newer version but in classic view. It’s a plain .xml file which i have originally exported from 2016 version.

Hope this answers your question

So exporting from 2016 and importing into 2019?
