Summary20241: Tokenmanagement failes on serveral issues (after 6.15.3+250708)
Description

Token-usage not stable since 6.15.3!

Nummerous issues are posted concering the usage of tokens.

This is truly a serious bug. Partial fixes are made but still the management of tokens is not correct. (compared to 6.15.3 and before).

In upcoming release 6.15.8+250825 issue 20235 is partly addressed.

Open issues:

  • Not able to restore old_token tables when reactivating (closed) surveys
    Thus: Token table always empty after reactivating

  • New tables occurred in our database, (e.g lime_oldquestions[sid]_[datetime])
    what is the usage of this tables?

  • New field [access_mode] in table [lime_surveys]
    This new field is causing confusing, as it is not working correctly and not well documented.

Hi, I confirm this bug.
I have to manually drop empty table lime_tokens_xxxxxx to make it appear restore tokens dialog. Alternatively, I drop table and manually rename lime_old_tokensxxxxx$timestamp
