Hello !
To resolve an issue with Nextcloud (version 31.0.4), I had to temporarily switch the update channel from Stable to Beta in order to upgrade to version 31.0.5 RC1.

However, I noticed that the Polls app was also upgraded from version 7.4.2 to 8.0.0-beta7.

Is there a way to downgrade Polls back to version 7.4.2?

Hello !
Will the existing records be preserved?
Is the database between versions 7 and 8 compatible?

Well… There is a certain risk involved. I have not checked but downgrading the DB is not possible in general. You can check is a Migration was added in v8.

Here are the changes: Comparing v7.4.2...v8.0.0-beta8 · nextcloud/polls · GitHub

As far as I can tell on mobile, there were at least minor changes.

Thank you.

For security reasons, I will stay on the beta version.
According to github-polls, there are DB incompatibilities

If you have to roll back from the 8.x-beta to 7.x you have do delete the column oc_polls_polls.voting_variant.

The column is new in 8.x and unknown to 7.x.

Additionally make sure you remove the latest migration entry from oc_migrations (app=‘polls’, version=‘080000Date20250413195001’) Otherwise you may experience problems when updating to 8.x-stable in the future.
