Import text file as BASIC note type fails

Anki Help

I tried to import the text file below as Basic and Basic reversed and get this error:

anki.errors.TemplateError: Card template ⁨2⁩ in notetype ‘⁨Basic⁩’ has a problem.
The front side is identical to card template ⁨1⁩.

I was able to create it as Basic-2e165 (although I am not sure what that is!)

Text File:

The front template in card 1 and 2 of your notetype can’t be identical. Try to swap the fields:
Card 1 Front template > {{Front}}
Card 2 Front template> {{Back}}
(do the same with back template)

Thank you! I don’t remember changing the template and just assumed it was the original. I dug a little deeper and have a somewhat better understanding of templates now.
