### Summary

Whenever I try to import a 5.5 metahuman from Bridge within UE 5.6 project it automatically imports without prompting if I want to import or migrate, I checked the settings and it’s set as Prompt, I tried changing it to Migrate and nothing changes, the metahuman I’m trying to migrate does not have warnings of any kind. It’s set as cinematic for import, and still nothing happens.

### Please select what you are reporting on:

Creative

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

UI/Tools

### Steps to Reproduce

Grab a metahuman from Bridge within UE 5.6, click download, and then click import. I tried to click import once again after all files were in the project, and all it did was reimport. I did that about 3 more times, and every time it reimported the metahuman. I tried checking all settings, and everything was in order according to the migration guides found at the Epic Games website

### Expected Result

When importing the first or second time get a prompt that asks you if you want to import, migrate, or import and migrate

### Observed Result

It auto-imports the metahuman completely, and no Metahuman Character file is present

### Platform(s)

UE 5.6

This means that the MetaHumans you have in Bridge don’t have the necessary information for the migration process to happen. In Quixel Bridge, under the My MetaHumans tab, make sure you have “Cinematic” selected then try to download again. This will get all the information required for the migration process. After redownloading, try to add the MetaHuman again and you should get the prompt to Migrate
