Summary08820: Importing lsa of an survey that was active makes it active again
Description

I just imported by mistake the lsa archive of a survey that was already running. This resulted in two copies of the same survey running at the same time, although the backup had less participants. Also both surveys had the same title, which was very confusing.
This is a dangerous behaviour. Usually one would at least want to decide to make the decision to enable the survey himself.

Additional Information

I suggest:

  • after importing a survey, the user should be asked, whether he likes to make that survey active or not
  • if already present in the system, the survey should get a name extension.
TagsNo tags attached.

That's the intended behaviour - how else could we restore responses. If you don't want the survey restored as it was please use the .lss export and not the archive export.
