    I want upgrade my project to unity 2019.3.0f6, but I have some issue.

    I used .blend files with several actions in my project. I seen this thread https://forum.unity.com/threads/blender-2-8-animations-not-importing-in-beta-2019-3-0b4.749198/
    And tried both way (change Unity-BlenderToFBX.py script and convert in .fbx with 'export all actions'). This work for .blend files where actions not more than one.

    When I select in inspector a file with several actions unity throw next errors:
    NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    UnityEditor.ModelImporterClipEditor.FindNextAvailableName (System.String baseName) (at <6f28216fea9f453abf2e05b770ed3ee4>:0)
    UnityEditor.ModelImporterClipEditor.MakeUniqueClipName (System.String name) (at <6f28216fea9f453abf2e05b770ed3ee4>:0)
    UnityEditor.ModelImporterClipEditor.AddClip (UnityEditor.TakeInfo takeInfo) (at <6f28216fea9f453abf2e05b770ed3ee4>:0)
    UnityEditor.ModelImporterClipEditor.SetupDefaultClips () (at <6f28216fea9f453abf2e05b770ed3ee4>:0)
    UnityEditor.ModelImporterClipEditor.OnEnable () (at <6f28216fea9f453abf2e05b770ed3ee4>:0)
    UnityEditor.AssetImporterTabbedEditor.OnEnable () (at <6f28216fea9f453abf2e05b770ed3ee4>:0)
    UnityEditor.ModelImporterEditor.OnEnable () (at <6f28216fea9f453abf2e05b770ed3ee4>:0)
    Thats look like a unity bug and I havent way to fix this on my side. Thats mean unity no longer support this workflow?

    I still have a way to create animations by "one .blend - one action", but I am not sure that this workflow is good.

    Facing the same error here, I tried the options in the stated thread but doesn't resolve the issue.

    Same here, made me crazy. Import .blend or .fbx format armature animation both have problems. The earlier version of Unity works fine.
