Version 3 is great for this

I think @Mazi already report issue about the broken feature

This is not the case in the latest version, see screenshot. This is from production.

Compare with previous version (3.X is great)
About all of this update : before we can give direct link to help user, no now way (i have to report this issue for Permission managem,t.

But anyway, as long as my usability reports and comments aren't taken into account, you can close. Who care ....

Copy and Import tabs are not missing. Import, see my previous screenshot, from clicking on purple + icon and then choosing from dropdown.
Copy is here in the list view under actions - see screenshot. This is not a bug, it is by design like that.

@tibor.pacalat: You assign it to Gabriel, but what is the desired behavior here?
The update was done by LimeSurvey team (remove tab) : the fix is adding tab again ?

I start my comment at 2026-02-06 17:20 , at the same you close at won't fix.

Else it's still a usability/user experience issue.
