[ARCHIVED] Classic Quiz feedback comments don't migrate to New Quiz format

[sys_lam]

When working with Classic Quiz questions that have been exported then imported as a New Quiz questions, I've found that the feedback comments (say, an explanation to accompany each multiple choice answer) have not been converted into feedback on the New Quiz question. General feedback for an essay question does import successfully, but the individual feedback for each answer option in a multiple choice question does not.

Is this a bug? I've checked the XML in the QTI zip, and the feedback is there, so how come it does not show up on the question after importing? If this is just a bug that is being worked on by Canvas/Instructure still, has anyone found a workaround that's not just copying and pasting every comment from Classic to New?

Sharon,
Thank you for asking this question. I just realized today that this is a problem. We have a lot of comments on our questions.

I came across the the same issues. Would love know a work around.

Same problem here. If only the Canvas programmers used their own software, then this would never happen...

Think this issue has been sorted. The comments seemed to transfer. Last checked Feb 2021.

Not for me (October 2022)

In testing this, I just migrated a classic quiz to New Quiz and none of my "general comments" migrated. That field has "None" for each question, so I have to start from scratch and build out my "general comments" for each question on each quiz/exam.  This will get quite tedious as some exams have 70-100 questions!

After losing your feedback you have to renter them from scratch. Furthermore, you can only add feedback for the correct answer, the incorrect one, or general feedback regardless of the answer. If I have three wrong ones, each wrong for a different reason, I cannot provide specific feedback for each of those.
