--- Comment #2 from jprorama at gmail.com ---
It’s an issue in 1.10 so wouldn’t call it old.

1.3 is in Ubuntu 18.04 and is a valid upgrade path from soon to expire
Ubuntu 16.04 which included a prior okular release that still used the
internal storage for annotation.

This is a bug still present in the data migration routines of 1.10 that
actually causes data loss by ignoring the metadata of the original
annotation.

For those of us who use the annotation feature to take notes in Okular and
are confronted by the loss of timestamps of a large collection of
annotations, it’s a real bug that doesn't have any resolution but in the
code base of okular during migration steps.

I filed the bug as the first step of problem resolution with the intent of
coding a solution.  I believe it comes down to a line or so of code: set
the properties from the original annotation after creating the migrated
Annotation instance. See the code sections referenced in the report.

I’m looking for bug reviewers that can help guide that implementation.
