After upgrade to latest version bulk cloning and import wizard no longer clones templates, variables, URLs, et al - hoses our configuration and we have to roll back:

Your Nagios XI installation is up to date.

Latest Available Version: 5.5.7
Installed Version: 5.5.7
Last Update Check: 12/05/2018 23:13:01

After consulting with the developers about the cause of this, we did come up with a cause and that is the file format changes slightly in the newer versions and need to be re-written to be parsed correctly.

Lets to the following. Remove the erroneous configs for the host/services, in the CCM.

Then

CCM -> Tools -> Config File Management
Delete Files
Write Configs
Verify Files
Restart Nagios Core

This will reset the configs

Now, the Bulk Host Import Wizard should work correctly.
