When trying to import a TMX file into an empty TM (or any TM) in Trados 2022, the segments are read but not imported:
This problem never arose for me using Trados 2021 (using the exact same procedure), and of course in Trados 2019 there was the option of converting a TMX file directly into an SDLTM.
Maybe your TM already contains them?
Or perhaps your language codes are different?

Thanks for your quick response, Paul!
Just to check things again, I created a new dummy project in Studio 2021 ((SL: English (UK); TL: Irish (Ireland)) and then created a new (empty) TM. I was able to import a TMX file generated by eTranslation (SL: English; TL: Irish) without any issues, using the default settings in Studio.
I followed the exact same procedure in Studio 2022 but the problem remains - the TMX file is read but not imported.

Can you share the TMX with me? pfilkin at rws dot com.

Of course - just sent it there.
I took a quick look this morning and I think the problem relates to this attribute:
o-tmf="TW4Win 2.0 Format"
If you delete this from the header and try again it works.
I'm not sure why this is a problem and will need to ask a developer on Tuesday, but a good troubleshooting check is this:
I have seen problems with this same attribute before in previous versions so it's surprising it worked in 2021, but nonetheless I'll find out what the problem is and let you know.
Kevin Flanagan fyi.

This seems to have worked, Paul - many thanks for your advice.
BTW, it would be great if the option to convert a TMX file into an SDLTM directly (available up to the 2019 version) was reinstated – it was a very handy feature.
Glad that resolved the problem for you.

The use of the "Trados Compatibility and Migration Power Pack" from the appstore should reinstate this so you can upgrade a TMX.
The bit that doesn't come back is being able to use the "Quick Upgrade" feature:
