 Description   

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Try to import a template (take the attached Template SNMP Generic.xml and then Template_SNMP_Data_Domain.xml for example) created in Zabbix version 5.0 or older (when value maps were defined in Administration → General)
  2. Uncheck "Value mappings" related checkboxes in the "Import" dialogue
  3. Verify that there are no value maps mentioned in the imported template entities (listed as "added")

Result:
Import fails with "Cannot find value map..." error

Expected:
Successful import without value maps

The workaround is to replace all occurrences of non-empty value map tags in the template source with an empty tag.

For example:

<valuemap>
    <name>Data Domain DiskState</name>
</valuemap>

to

<valuemap/>

Import the template and then manually add value maps on the template level
