Python Version

Steps to Reproduce

Click on front ports import
Get navigated to host/dcim/front-ports/import/
Upload tested and previous working Data in order to import Front ports while matching rearports
Receive error "Record 1 : Unrecognized header: rear_port" (and rear_port_position)

Expected Behavior

Be able to import front ports and their rear port association via bulk import.

Observed Behavior

I checked field options on front port import: uses the same fields as the rear port import and the rear-port associations are missing.

Did I miss some documented breaking change or is something wrong with our deployment?
Sadly the docs for this kind of import are a bit sparse
