Import answers from old survey was created by Cleverly
Hello!
Unfortunately, a coworker deactivated a survey without saving the answers first. I have now found a tutorial where you reactivate the survey and then select "Import answers from a deactivated survey table". So far so good. However, I don't have an "Import" button on the upper right (see attachment). Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? 

Best regards,
Phillip

Hi, Phillip,
as usual, the first question: Which version?

I did not see an issue, neither in 5.0.1. nor in 3.25.16

 

Next page:


You see that the main menu doesn't disappear (in your screenshot).

Hi Joff,

thank you for your answer. 
I'm using Version 4.2.

Of course, the main menu doesn't disappear. The problem is I don't have a button ("Importieren") where I can confirm to import older data.

Yes, these two things seem to be related.

Well, your version 4.2. is really old (more than a year) and the first releases of this version were really buggy.
Therefore there was always the recommendation: 4.x. not for production mode, use 3.x LTS instead.

So, an update has to be considered.
