FWIW, I really struggled with this to figure out what was wrong with my imports. There is a Commodity field and there is a Currency field. I had to repeatedly fill in fields until I found the issue was Currency.
I also think all of you that help/develop this product do a great job.

Both securities and currencies are commodities, but for example widgets are commodities but are neither securities nor currencies. The error message is correct, what’s apparently lacking is communicating to users the meaning of “commodity”. We’re also guilty of mixed messaging because we call the tool that manages commodities the Security Editor. Both are a larger problem than an error dialog in the CSV importer.
