If you exported items from an org which are already in a collection (with the same name or not), and import that export into a different org which might have a collection with the same name but not the same uuid, then it will create a new one.

This is not something we can fix, as the server doesn't know what the names of the collections are, and we can't match them.

If you exported it from the exact same org, delete every cipher, and then import, it should use the same collections.

It might be that it has a link with #4700, fixed in #4702
In that case we might be able to fix it.

Could you provide more details like, is it from Org X to Org Y.
And i Org Y there just is a collection with the exact same name as in X, but both are created manually?

No, I don't import anything previously exported, just import some brand new data, like generated somewhere else username-password pairs.

The pasted csv data for import is something like this:

type,name,notes,fields,reprompt,login_uri,login_username,login_password,login_totp
login,user1,,,0,,user1,pass123,
login,user2,,,0,,user2,pass456,

When I took a look an the HTTP request made by the web client when I press "Import" (the call to /api/ciphers/import-organization), I see the same collection ID passed in the request JSON as long as I choose the same collection to import into. So I assume the client passes the known collection ID to the server to import to the particular existing collection. But I always get a newly created collection.

Ok cool. Then it looks like it's the exact same issue as with the folders. Which should be not that hard to resolve.

Thanks for the details.

Found and solved the issue. Thanks again for reporting.
