Description

I'm having trouble retrieving data from a questionnaire.

Here's my situation: I created a questionnaire and activated it. It started recording responses from several participants a few weeks ago. However, today I deactivated it and made a change to its structure. When I tried to review the responses again, I realized that all the responses from the previous version had been deleted.

I'd like to know if it's possible to recover the data from this earlier version and, if so, how to do it.

There is no "How to reproduce" instructions in the ticket. You can also attach lss or lsa file to the ticket.
Did you use "Classic" or "New" editor?
Please see attached image about differences with expiring the survey or deactivating it.
If you deactivated it, did you change questions type or deleted the questions and created new ones?
In any case, I need more detail on how to reproduce ...
