Hi.
Can you please help how to export the database from the old console (MySQL 5.7) and how to import it back in the MYSQL8 server? I did not find it in the console UI itself.

No idea about how to do with console, but with tools like PHPmyAdmin this is pretty easy to do in a couple of clicks.

The screenshot you send to me seems clearly a issue on LimeSurvey then
You must report on the Bug Tracker community.limesurvey.org/bug-tracker/
And if you can activate debug mode to report the issue manual.limesurvey.org/Debug_mode
Other partners can help : www.limesurvey.com/installation
