Export/Import survey multiple choice issue

[przemkalit]

Summary

I've discovered that when a survey with multiple-choice questions is exported with JT/WF and then imported, the multiple-choice gets broken - it has only one choice.

Desired Behavior

Survey has a list of choices:

A
B
C
D

Actual Behavior

Survey has a one choice:

A/nB/nC/nD

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Remark: the object with survey must be migrated from ATP to AAP using upgrade method.

1. Create JT with survey on ATP with multiple choice question, add at least two answers.
2. Upgrade ATP to AAP
3. Export the JT
4. Import the JT

Ok the problem is related to survey that are migrated from ansible tower, in the UI survey is working after migration but in the API is in the old state. Closing the issue.

Reopen it, we identified that the issue is produced by this part of the code:
templates/job_template.j2 (the same for WF)

{% set survey_spec_contents = query(controller_api_plugin, current_job_templates_asset_value.related.survey_spec,
                                    host=controller_hostname, oauth_token=controller_oauthtoken, verify_ssl=controller_validate_certs)[0] |
                                    from_yaml | to_nice_yaml(indent=2,width=500) | regex_replace("\n\n[ ]*", "\\\\n") | indent(width=6, first=False) | replace("'{{", "!unsafe \'{{") | replace("^$", "") | replace("$encrypted$", "") | replace("'", '"')
-%}

Somehow saving to file, modify the survey in a way that when it is loaded with filetree_read and dispatch, it import into
controller multiselect objects like in the first post.

I'm unable to reproduce this in a branch I'm developing tests for the existing roles. Can we close this issue?

[przemkalit]

To be honest this bug is weird because it happens only when we save the object with survey into the file, when we tested without saving the file, the survey was okay.

But we have a similar bug:

When we define textarea with default answer:
object_example
object2_example

After exporting object and importing the textarea is changed into:
object_example\nobject2_example
