importing idf into OpenStudio

I have a working energyplus .idf. When I try to import it into OpenStudio I get this error (in a tiny window):

 The collection is INVALID at strictness level 'Draft', because of the errors:
Field      level data error of type DataType          .
Error is in an object of type 'Schedule:Week:Compact', named 'DHWDistWk1', in field 1.
Additional information about the error type: field-level data is of an incorrect type.

I found this, https://unmethours.com/question/1289/scheduleweekcompact-error-when-importing-idf-into-openstudio/

Is schedule:week:compact the only schedule format that doesn't work? Are there other known issues with idf import documented somewhere?
