Hey Michail. No. It's like what I said. I had 1 address in my CoPay wallet.
I send 0.001 from it. But what CoPay did: It sent the 0.001 + 0.05 to a new adress which contains now to my wallet.
The 0.05 are still mine. But now I don't know how to get the 0.05 back to my big address.

Which is what I said.  Change address.

But, without seeing the transaction ID, it's hard to explain/guess.  You're welcome to message me directly to work through this, but asking in a forum without any information is simply going to get a lot of guessing done.   What you think and what I think are simply guesswork until we're both looking at the same thing.

One more try.  Grin

1. I created Copay wallet. It contained 1 address (AAAAA).
2. I sent 8 BTC to AAAAA
3. Then I sent 0.001xxx BTC from AAAAA to Byteball
4. What Copay did:
   a) They sent 0.001xxx BTC from AAAAA to Byteball
   b) They sent 0.05 BTC from AAAAA to BBBBB (I never did this transaction - it's done automatically for what ever reason)
5. Now I have two addresses in my Copay wallet (AAAAA with 7.949 BTC + BBBBB with 0.05 BTC)
6. How do I get the BTC from BBBBB to AAAAA?

I hope this makes it clear.
Im not familiar with copay wallet, but if you not control private key, In my opinion you have only one way: send full amount to other wallet and than send back to AAAAA

With Copay you only hold the private key for the wallet itself. I don't know how this technically is working but it's odd that they create a new address and make a parallel transaction to it.
So, it looks like Copay isn't a good choice for things like byteball, where you need all BTC in one address. I am glad they only sent 0.05 BTC to the new address and not 50/50.
