**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 4.0.0  
My PHP version is: 8.0  
My Database type and version is: MySQL 8.0.26-google

**Your problem**  
My problem is: I am trying to import contacts from a simple CSV that contains only first name, last name, email and I get this error: This form should not contain extra fields.

These errors are showing in the log: interface

Steps I have tried to fix the problem: check csv structure, export csv from Contacts and try to import it, same error.

Hi @laurnicolae and welcome to the forums!

This is probably because you’re running a very outdated version of Mautic. I’m pretty sure we fixed this issue a long while ago, but also, Mautic 4.0 does not support PHP 8 so that might be a problem as well - support for PHP 8 was introduced in the [4.4.0 release](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/releases/tag/4.4.0).

So it would be worth your while making a backup of your files and database, and updating your Mautic instance at the command line so that you can ensure you’re running the latest bug fixes and features!

Thank you very much.  
I am trying to update it but when I run in console php bin/console mautic:update:find  
I get this: Great! You are running the current version of Mautic.  
Is there a way to force the update?
