How do you assign partial credit on Canvas quizzes?

I teach Spanish and use the "fill multiple blanks" option often for students to type in a vocab word or a verb conjugation. I usually take off only 1 point for a missing accent mark, but I cannot find a way to assign partial points for different answers which is very problematic.

In the legacy version of quizzes, you cannot assign separate point values to individual answers with any of the quiz types, so it is not possible to automatically award points this way. You should put in the right answer and then manually check each student's answer and give points for those who have partially correct answers.

With Quizzes.Next, you can assign different point values for multiple choice questions, but not for fill in the blank questions.
