vaultwarden version: 1.30.5

Install method: docker image
Clients used:
web vault

Steps to reproduce

Given:
Test-Collection with Old-Entry (collectionId=f9b42dca-8d96-4b86-b8bd-0198a8020c37)
Folder in Keepass with New-Entry

Export from Keepass 2
Entry:
Keepass 2 Entry - Data exchange - Export entry - Keepass XML 2.x -> entry.xml

Folder:
Group - Data exchange - Export group - Keepass XML 2.x -> folder.xml

Organization - Settings - Import data - Collection: Test-Collection - File format: KeePass2 (XML) - Select the import file: entry.xml - Import data -> "Data successfully imported" Login: 1; Collections: 1
Result: New Collection (ollectionId=90214cb8-4407-445e-836a-bd3f9e51a6e4) with single entry test-entry next to the existing old Test-Collection with Test-Entry (collectionId=f9b42dca-8d96-4b86-b8bd-0198a8020c37)
same with import of folder.xml

Expected behaviour

I would expect the entries from keepass to be added to the selected collection and no duplicate

Actual behaviour

collection is duplicated (same name, different id) and the entries from the import are in this new collection

@BlackDex commented on GitHub (Mar 5, 2024):

I'm afraid we can't fix that. The server just receives encrypted data with no way for us to see names of collections or folders.

If the ID is different, then the client crested a new collection which the server then will create as requested.

Ah, ok. I was using the website provided by the docker container. Where do I have to report this bug for the "client" you speak of?

If it is a bug it might ask ready be reported at Bitwarden.
Which maintains all the clients.
