You cannot import leads with status Accepted or Declined directly.

You need to first import them as Qualified to then change them to Accept or Declined.

1. Create the Leads via DWB with Status Qualified.
2. Export the Leads via DWB to get the ID or UUID, e.g. select by Creation Date Time = Today.
3. Create CSV File only sending Object ID & Status (e.g. 04 = Accepted) -->
4. Import Leads via DWB Import, Individual Object, Lead Update (Blank Fields = Ignore: This is important).
