Merge multiple surveys into one was created by stefan_o
Please help us help you and fill where relevant:
Your LimeSurvey version: 6.4.12
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: own server
Survey theme/template: fruity(?)
==================
I would like to merge multiple surveys into a single survey (due to limitations of LimeSurvey). I tried to export them as txt/csv file, copied the questions from survey B to the end of survey A, imported it, but all I see are the questions of survey A. I cannot figure out why. I even tried copying the questions to the middle: Still only the questions from survey A

I really don't understand what you try to do.

There are multiple (quite long) surveys. Because of the issue that you cannot load a state from another survey, I would like to create one survey of the multiple surveys, without manually re-doing everything, just copy/paste.

Volunteers are not paid.
Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless

Hm,
I do not see an issue merging two surveys this way.
Did you test with two small dummy surveys?
Did you empty the first two columns?

I cleared the first two columns, same result. I created two dummy surveys, merged them, same result. After I changed the name of the questions in the second survey it worked.
But here's the thing: In the existing survey I would like to merge the names are different. I have no idea what else is supposed to be unique in what range (answer options always seem to have the same name). Unfortunately LimeSurvey doesn't show any error when importing, it's always successful, no matter how many questions are lost.
