Hmm, there seems to be a underlying problem here that needs fixing also: When the import_queue table was added to the system there was a 'format' field available but it was not populated by anything - see 1.1.0_RELEASE htdocs/api/xmlrpc/lib.php file's send_content_intent() function that inserted a record into the table.
Later on - see 1.2.0_RELEASE the import things were shifted about, and the insert record moved to htdocs/import/lib.php file's create_new_queue() function. Here there is a new setting called $plugin that tries to save to 'plugin' field,but there isn't one. This is still the case 11 versions later So I suspect the $plugin value should have been saved to the 'format' field, and that will need fixing up as well -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

It is trying to import leap2A data into Mahara from Moodle. The Moodle version is 2.7 which is using an older version of the submission plugin. But, that shouldn't matter. I think we need 2 things: 1) Check that the format is correct in PluginImport::class_from_format(). If it's not correct, default it to leap. 2) When the importer is created in import_process_queue(), it should be wrapped in the try/catch block.
