Summary07052: Survey ID is not imported from .lss file
Description

If a survey file (.lss) is imported, limesurvey assigns a new survey ID, even when the one from the imported survey is not used (not yet in the db).

This hinders data exchange between different machines with the same survey.

In the wiki it reads: "If you import a survey to your LimeSurvey installation the SID will (if possible) not change."

Steps To Reproduce

create new survey
change to import tab
choose a .lss file (mine is attached)
import
look at the survey ID (with my file it should be "292929" but limesurvey assigns a new one.

Additional Information

I want to use my surveys on multiple machines. On a server for online survey but also on several offline installations (XAMPP+limesurvey) for face to face without internet access (export .vv and import on main machine) and another machine with queXF. For this to work, survey IDs need to be the same on the different machines.

TagsNo tags attached.

You are aware that having the same survey ID will not automatically have the question groups and questions have the same ID, right? So VV-import/export will only work between different machines if the database is exactly the same.

Thanks for your super quick reaction. I hoped data import after checking survey id would work on variable names. Now, in the wiki I saw the workaround with copying the headers of VV-files, which I guess needs to be done also when exporting a survey structure for editing in excel and importing again (all new IDs). I can do this but many other users unfortunately not...

For the exchange of data between different machines (collecting all data on one) i'll need to look for a different solution.

Still, having the same survey ID may make life easier dealing with different machines and quexf. Would be happy if a dev could look into that but totally understand if it has a "low to no priority".
Thanks again also for your previous fixes and work on this fantastic project!
