Error: "The work order template must contain the Asset that is assigned to the work order" or "wo.mustcontainasset"

This error occurs when importing Work Orders with PM IDs.

 If the PM on the Work Order is no longer associated with the Asset for that Work Order, then this error will occur. 

To correct this error users either need to edit the PM and add the Asset back into the PM, or edit the import sheet and remove that PM ID from that Work Order record.
