How to import address with private key using importmulti

Problem. importmulti function has a lot of parameters and they are more difficult to understanding then the parameters of another Bitcoin RPC-API functions. Those who are not profi in modern cryptographic achievements have difficult with understanding how to use importmulti function.



Here is the task that demonstrates the problem.
There is 2 wallets with the Bitcoin Core v.0.19.1:
wallet1 - the wallet with private key for export.
wallet2 - empty wallet into which we need to import the PK+address from wallet1.



So in the wallet1 we have the bitcoin address created by getnewaddress.



[root@wallet1 ~]# bitcoin-cli getaddressinfo 3M5e4QMBUYtpEewwuuoWCArpiM2fT4KEDy
{
  "address": "3M5e4QMBUYtpEewwuuoWCArpiM2fT4KEDy",

[root@wallet1 ~]# bitcoin-cli dumpprivkey 3M5e4QMBUYtpEewwuuoWCArpiM2fT4KEDy
Kwngf5FSYmHM5oPHjSoKxtHWUxXiQ5YN5ZR6shmzkYpMMftBh92c


I've tried to import that address to wallet2 but have failed.



[root@wallet2 ~]# bitcoin-cli importmulti '[{ "scriptPubKey": { "address": "3M5e4QMBUYtpEewwuuoWCArpiM2fT4KEDy" }, "timestamp":"now", "keys": { "Kwngf5FSYmHM5oPHjSoKxtHWUxXiQ5YN5ZR6shmzkYpMMftBh92c":0 }  }]' '{"rescan": false}'

result
[
  {
    "success": false,
    "error": {
      "code": -1,
      "message": "Missing required fields"
    }
  }
]


What the correct way to import that address using importmulti? Show the example please.
