   I use the descriptor wallet and seems to be that the error should be related to descriptor mode, same for importaddress NOTE: for not descriptor address importaddress || importpubkey works well with same data

   importpubkey "03234573021d48ba91f2fab9e210c32c5dbf2a132e701d117dce21ec5de362107d" "test_import_with_same_label" false Only legacy wallets are supported by this command (code -4)

   Which error are you asking about? The “Only legacy wallets” error or the “method not found”?

   Both should be expected. Descriptor wallets explicitly disable importpubkey, importaddress, and a few other RPCs. It looks like you later typed in - which is not a valid RPC.

   Yes, I am about importpubkey & importaddress and ‘Only legacy wallets’ - A non-obvious message if in fact the point is that I have a descriptor wallet, - i used as a delimiter(sry) on the screenshot.

   You can type help importdescriptors to learn more about how to import descriptors.

   Sorry, for some reason I thought that the message was about legacy addresses (my fault) Thanks
