Error when importing solution: ImportAsHolding failed with exception :Property displaytype is required

I have a new version of a managed solution file that is throwing an error every time I try to import it into another environment.  The error is:

 

Solution "XYZSolution" failed to import: ImportAsHolding failed with exception :Property displaytype is required, but the declaration is missing. More Details:Parent Type:SystemForm;SubType:main;Parent Id:76f8bbe4-0f52-eb11-a813-000d3a1fba41;Associated entity:xyz_Claim;Control Description Xml:Unexpected schema;Control Reference Xml:Unexpected schema;Error Message:-2146041806;Additional Information:;

 

The specified table "xyz_Claim" is a custom table in the solution.   I've identified the main form that is referenced by the GUID.  It's a form that we created for that table.  But what is it about that form that is causing the error?   Does anyone have an idea of what I can try doing to get past this error?  We've been exporting and importing this solution with that table in it for a long time without the error.

    MS support helped me figure this one out.  I had recently downloaded and installed a newer version of a PCF control.  I didn't realize that the new version had a new configuration setting that is required.  All of our forms using that control had to be updated to put a value in that PCF setting field.  Without the required value, the form threw this error when being imported.
