8.2 XLS Import Error

I get this error when I try to import an XLS into 8.2 Professional Client: 

 ERROR: control_updates_flag is null for TASK ActivityID: 1.1A It seems that this field  is an indicator that determines whether the activity status updates made in Team Member applications are approved before commiting changes.  Is this a new required field in 8.2? How do I set it?

I put in some time researching the issue and found the answer.
 
Because of a bug in the code, the ability to import XLS to add new activities will fail with ERROR: control_updates_flag is null for TASK ActivityID: XXX. This is outlined in Bug 13842293 - CANNOT IMPORT XLS INTO P6 R8.2
