I want to produce a survey with a fairly regular structure which is too complicated to be done using the UI tools directly. So I thought I could export a skeleton survey, add a few questions to the .lss file, and import it into a new survey.
What I did was to go into the place where my question is, then copy and paste the whole <row> element. Then I changed following elements in my new row: <qid> (I used a new integer not already contained in the file), <title> (again giving it a unique value), <question>, and <sortorder> (incrementing the value of the question above and making sure the next questions in the section have the correct order). Both question share the same type (a list of three radio buttons).
Then I went to where the answers are, and copy-pasted three existing rows. There I changed the <qid> (to point to my new question) and the <answer>.
I imported the file to a new survey. There were no error messages, and when I test-start the survey, it says that the survey has 11 questions, whereas the skeleton survey had 10 questions. But in the section where I added my new question, I only see the old questions, created by clicking in the interface.
What did I miss, and how do I edit the .lss to add a new question?
