| Summary | 20510: Survey copy no longer transfers survey-level plugin settings (regression since 6.1.3) | ||||
| Description | When copying a survey, survey-level plugin settings (stored in lime_plugin_settings with model = 'Survey') are no longer transferred to the copied survey. The copy receives default values instead of the settings configured on the original survey. This can cause serious issues to many users relying on automated work-flows by creating survey copies. We know at least 5-6 customers alone which have tools in place to copy surveys with important plugin settings e.g. for course evaluation or project status surveys. With the plugin settings broken, work-flows like email sending or other plugin related features are fully broken. AI generated code details: | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Steps to reproduceInstall and activate any plugin that supports survey-level settings (i.e. subscribes to beforeSurveySettings and newSurveySettings). Expected resultThe copied survey has the same survey-level plugin settings as the original survey. The lime_plugin_settings table contains corresponding rows for the new survey ID with identical values. Actual resultThe copied survey shows default plugin values. No rows exist in lime_plugin_settings for the new survey ID (or only auto-generated default rows). The custom settings configured on the original survey are lost. | ||||

@DenisChenu, can you reproduce? @tibor.pacalat, this is a blocker for any automated process relying on plugins and survey copies. It can cause serious issues to automated workflows. |

Tested this in version 6.17.2 and the problem did not reproduce, I can see my changes in the copied survey |
