OpenStudio Fails to Import Energyplus Model

Hello! I'm new to Open Studio and I tried to import an .idf file, previously generated in EnergyPlus. In EnergyPlus I can simulate it without any error. When I simulate it in Open Studio it doesnt work. it seems to be unable to finde some schedules. I get the error 'Field [Activity Level Schedule Name] is required but was blank' Although this schedule exists. I use Open Studio Version 2.1.0 and EnergyPlus 8.7 which, according to the release notes, should work together... Are there some settings I have to change before I can import it in Open Studio?
