Issue

There are actually two issues here although I suspect they are related.

Duplicating a survey with entries added, fails with an error message about editing surveys with entries
Duplicating an empty survey copies the survey but MOVES the questions (ie the questions appear okay on the new survey but are deleted from the old one)

Expected Behavior

At least in 2 above the both the original survey and the new one should have the questions attached.

Actual Behavior

The questions in the original survey are missing after the duplication. I suspect that the attempt to move rather than duplciate is why the error in 1) above happens.

Possible Fix

Steps to Reproduce

Create a Survey with questions
2.Duplicate the survey
3.Check the original survey and see the questions missing

Hey,

I am able to see Issue 1

However, I'm seeing the inverse of No. 2 on 7.11.1.7
(Old Survey keeps its Questions, New Survey is created with no Questions)

Which subversion of 7.11.x are you on, by chance?
It will be good to know where there is a difference in functionality.

That will teach me to rush things, I thought I'd added that. Anyway its 7.11.15 before I tested there I had tested on 7.11.5 and had the problem you mentioned, when searching there was some issues with copying Surveys that already had responses hence I set up a dev site for our client and upgraded to the latest (this was about 3-4 weeks ago). Since then they have tested again and this is the issue now discovered.

Regards

Mark

Hey @markbond1007

I've given it a quick try in both 7.11.15 & 7.11.5
Interestingly, I am also seeing the inverse on these versions
(Old Survey keeps Questions / New does not)

Either way, I'd agree that there is an issue here.
(Either it behaves as you have described or, if how I've seen, I believe it should carry over questions onto the new survey)

So I've labeled this as a Bug

Thank you for your response!
