Create/Import/Copy survey page not opening

Hi,
When I click Create survey (or Add survey) I expect the Create / Import / Copy survey screen to open.
But instead, LimeSurvey immediately creates an “Untitled survey” and redirects me straight to the survey’s detail/settings page.
So I can’t access the Import/Copy options from the create flow.Has anyone seen this behavior? Any setting/permission or version-related reason for this?

I’ve attached screenshots for reference.Thanks

Hi,
first: Why didn't you answer the questions that appeared at the start of this new topic?

Now we do not know which version you are referring to.

Anyway: This button at the upper right corner is labelled (in English) "Create survey".
 
So it creates a new survey, nothing else.
I admit that the Turkish wording that is translated by Google to something like "Add survey" may be a bit misleading.
Maybe you can help the community proposing a better translation.

Log in with the same credentials as in the forum.

Now there is this other big button in the top menu
 
that offers the following options
 

And after clicking "Import Survey" you get the screen you are probably looking for.

Your LimeSurvey version: 6.15.5+250724
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: own

==================

Hi,
We noticed the Create survey button points to a different URL in our environment compared to the official LimeSurvey demo.

Our instance (hover link): /index.php/surveyAdministration/createSurvey

LimeSurvey demo (hover link): /index.php?r=surveyAdministration/newSurvey

Could this difference be related to how we embed LimeSurvey in an iframe (or routing/webserver config, e.g., URL manager / pretty URLs)?
In our case, clicking Create survey immediately creates an “Untitled survey” and redirects to the survey detail page instead of opening the Create/Import/Copy screen.

We’ve attached screenshots for reference. Thanks.

This is what I wrote.
This button in the upper right corner "creates a new survey".
And only this, no "copy", no "import".

To reach the "import" option you have to use the big "+" button. See the screenshots.

I had the same issue some weeks ago. Even the button @Joffm mentioned didn't open the screen with the option to decide if you want to create or copy a new survey. Limesurvey directly created a new survey. My solution was to search for the survey I wanted to copy in the list and use the hidden menu behind the three dots on the right side. There, you can copy the survey. 

In the newest LimeSurvey version I am using (6.16.4), the problem is solved. Now I can choose again whether to create a new one or copy an old survey.
