Summary	20372: XML convertion when installing quetion template
Description	We encountered several issues when installing a question theme through the LimeSurvey interface. The problem was caused by a bug in LimeSurvey: it modified the XML configuration file to match the current version for compatibility purposes. However, this modification made the XML file invalid (duplicate elements, etc.). To fix this, the file must be placed directly on the server.

tibor.pacalat 2025-11-25 17:46 administrator ~83938	@DenisChenu you know what to do?

DenisChenu 2025-11-25 17:55 developer ~83939	Remove the broken fix ? I don't know where is it.

tibor.pacalat 2025-11-25 17:59 administrator ~83940	I thought since you posted +1 that you are agreeing this must be fixed and potentially know how to fix it.

DenisChenu 2025-11-25 18:08 developer ~83941	No, I have this issue too, but no time to report. More quick to fix theme file before upload

eliana 2025-11-25 19:51 reporter ~83943	The theme file is correct before upload. After uploading, it gets modified. The best solution is to place the file directly on the server instead of using the application to install it.
