I was born in Denmark and moved out when I was young. I still sign Danish Sign Language fluently and occasionally go back to Denmark to visit friends & family.
Recently I visited Danish embassy outside Denmark for passport renewal. The staff asked me which national was I prior to being Danish national. I said I was born in Denmark and never obtained other national. I thought that was it.
They did not like that answer and insisted on me giving them the answer. I simply said I didn’t know but did mention that my parents were immigrants. They asked which national were they prior to Danish citizenship. I said X country and they put this as my national prior to Danish national in their system.
Now I’m looking at the laws online, I can’t seem to make sense of it but it seems worrying as it means I could lose my Danish citizenship under specific circumstances?

The 22 year thing is if you were a Danish citizen from birth, but not born in Denmark. As you weren't a Danish citizen from birth, it doesn't seem to be relevant to your situation.
