IS there an easier way to map SubVersion user to RTC?

When walking through the wizard to import the SubVersion dump file into RTC, one step is to map the user ID between SubVersion and RTC.

The option Using the mappings entered below allow one to do customized mapping and save it in a text file, which really just a line with the SubVersion user name and RTC user name separated by a comma. But somehow it won't recognize one you generate by hand, therefore you have to go through steps Add SVN user, move to Change Jazz User to enter the Jazz uid, then save to get one entry done.

You can imagine how tedious this will be if one has to handle hundreds user mapping.

Does anyone know a shortcut or I need to raise an enhancement request to request a manually generated text file with the mapping to be accepted?

Mappings generated manually should work. Did you try saving a file and
then editing it to change the username mappings to your desired
mappings? From the code, it looks like the file needs to contain a
mapping on each line with a comma between the svn userid and the jazz
userid. Did this fail for you? If so, please open a defect.

Michael,
I first followed the wizard and saved the first couple of entries into a file, then felt it is too tedious to do it.
So I opened the file and found out that it contans just entries mapping on each line with a comma between the svn userid and the jazz. So I tried to add a few more entries in the file with more user pairs and saved the file with a different name.
Then when I open the import wizard again and tried to load the new file, it loads only entries generated by the wizard, not the ones I added manually.

Is this expected or a bug?

Actually, I just tried again and verified that editing the file generated by the wizard to add more user mappings works and I think I can live with that.

Thanks for the answering.
