Importing from Bitwarden fails

I have rather large Bitwarden vault with 1500 entries, mostly logins but also secure notes, serials and credit card informations. Many use additional custom fields.

When I follow the instructions and export the Bitwarden native, PBKDF2 encrypted JSON and use it to import online I just get an error without any details whats going wrong. If I use CSV it's a lot of manual work as a) there is no way to use a column to tell the importer what kind of entry it is and b) I can only import all fields into a single custom field and then manually have to recreate them. Pretty painful.

Is there any other way I can script an import not losing custom fields? Or better, can the Bitwarden import just be fixed ;)

    Looks like the python bindings are my best bet:
