I can confirm that bug. |
 |
Not a bug. We remain backwards compatible. Remaining FORWARD compatible is not a target. OK if I close? |
|
|
What we can do is make the error message more clear. |
 |
I find it relatively disappointing and incomprehensible … |
|
|
Well, the language refactoring makes it a natural incompatibility, unless you want to code a separate importer class to convert language rows to old format. Or someone else. But I don't see the priority? |

Oh … sh … right lss use DB data directly … Must try with a TSV :D |

You might think about suffixes like LSS3, LSS4 etc to prevent confusion. A import mode to get as much as possible from a LSS might be helpful in the future. LS3 import into LS4 might need some work too. https://bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=15785 |

Why not go Microsoft? .lssx, .lssdocx, .lssdox ;)
Yeah. Those bugs are valid. |
