Description

When importing a build definition i get the following error:

Either exported JSON is not valid or it is not compatible with current product. Please export again and try importing again.

Steps to recreate

1. just multiple build definitions from our TFS 2017 update 1 environment to import to our VSTS environment,
2. created a new build definition with one simple buildstep that isn't custom
3. tried a different project

all three failed with the same error

Current behavior

we cant import our buildsteps because we get the following error:

Either exported JSON is not valid or it is not compatible with current product. Please export again and try importing again.

Expected behavior

it should import the build steps

Related to the issue, scenario tried: export from VSTS a working build definition, tried to import it back (as it was downloaded) and was not possible, same error as above
