I'm having this exact issue: there were a couple of spaces in front of the TY tag so I deleted them and am still getting the error message. Here are the first few lines: TY - JOUR ID - 1 A1 - Skobba, Kimberly A1 - Carswell, Andrew T. T1 - Community Land Trust Homeowners: Past and Present Housing Experiences Y1 - 2014 VL - 43
That should definitely import (e.g., if you copy those lines and do File → "Import from Clipboard…"). If that's not working, generate a Debug ID for an import that fails, and then reset your translators from the Advanced → Files and Folders pane of the Zotero preferences.
