Shape Editor "Import" greyed out

I'm trying to create an animation with a simple face rig using blend shapes. Along the way I have accidentally changed the target shape too much, luckily I have an older save of the project where the original shape isn't changed at all however I'm missing a lot of blend shapes from this file as it's an older version of the project.

Reading this page, I've found you can import and export blend shapes from the shape editor. I have the exporting part just fine however the import shape option in the file menu is greyed out. Would anyone know how to fix this or why that is? At this point it will be much easier and less time consuming to just import the shapes so I would rather do that than have to make them all over again.
