Description:
I encountered an issue when attempting to import a deck with study history into an identical deck that originally had no study history. Even though I selected the “Update notes: Always” option, the learning data did not transfer correctly.
Steps to Reproduce:
On Anki 25.02 for macOS (or AnkiDroid 2.20.1), export a deck that has existing study history.
On the same device (or another device), create or load a deck that contains the same cards but does not have any study history.
Choose “Import” and select the file exported in Step 1.
In the import dialog, select “Update notes: Always”
After importing completes, check the newly imported deck’s study history.
Expected Behavior:
All study data (learning progress, review history, etc.) should be imported accurately, reflecting the exported deck’s status.
Actual Behavior:
The deck does not show the correct study history. Cards appear as if they have never been studied, even though they were supposed to inherit the previous learning data.
Additional Information:
This issue occurs on macOS Anki 25.02 and also on AnkiDroid 2.20.1.
I verified that I selected “Update notes: Always” in the import options.
If there’s any additional information I can provide (such as logs or screenshots), please let me know. Thanks for looking into this!
