Hi @Sunny Rastogi ,

It looks like you're encountering an issue with importing a SharePoint 2010 list template into SharePoint 2019. The reason for this error is usually an unavoidable difference in structure and functionality between SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2019. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

1. Check the URL Path: Ensure that the URL path mentioned in the error message is correct and accessible. Sometimes, the path might have changed or the file might not exist in the specified location.
2. Enable Custom Script: Make sure that custom scripts are enabled on your SharePoint 2019 site. This can be done through the SharePoint Admin Center. Enabling custom scripts allows you to upload and use list templates.
3. Use PowerShell: You can use PowerShell to import the list template. This method can sometimes bypass issues that occur through the UI.
4. Update the Template: If the above steps don't work, it means that this 2010 template is not compatible in 2019. You may need to update the list template to make it compatible with SharePoint 2019. This may require creating a new list in SharePoint 2019 and then manually copying the structure and data from the SharePoint 2010 list.
