Does the "Non-zero JCI field" error still occur if:

1. A new, empty OneNote 2010 section is created.
2. That section is exported on its own.
3. The just-exported section is imported into Joplin?

Ok, I created a new empty section inside the same notebook saved it and imported it into Joplin.  
It worked without any issues.

Next, I created a new and also empty new notebook and tried to import that too but got theses errors…

Thanks for testing!

If sections are exported individually from the other notebook (as .one files rather than a .onepkg file), can Joplin import them?

I just tried that and it seems that it is possible, with some loss in formating though. 🫤  
The errors occur when I try saving and then importing complete note books…  
Is there some fix for this? While it appears to be possible to import the sections individually it would be somewhat cumbersome. 😅

Since the export was created from OneNote 2010, a workaround might be to import the `.onepkg` file into a newer OneNote version, re-export it, then import the just-exported file into Joplin.

The importer has previously also had issues with importing revisions. It might also help to create a copy of the notebook, clear revision history, then re-export.

There are some OneNote import-related bug fixes in the latest pre-release (see [pre-releases](https://joplinapp.org/help/about/prereleases)), but I don't think any are related to the issues reported above.

I will play around a bit with this method for the individual sections and see how it goes.  
I will also take at the idea about the revisions…  
Importing into a newer onenote version is not on the table since 2010 was the last version that worked only locally. Since version 2013 it requires a MS account… 🤮 So, no thanks.  
Thanks for the help.
