retake quiz with same random numbers

[par_soderhjelm]

I'm constructing a quiz consisting of formula-type questions with randomly generated variable values. Multiple attempts are allowed. Is it possible to setup the quiz so that the student gets the same values of variables when retaking the quiz (but not the same values as other students)?

The advantage of this would be that if the student worked on this question with pen and paper for an hour and made a small mistake, she wouldn't have to start over again with new input data.

 @par_soderhjelm , greetings! No, right now this isn't an option in Canvas. If the student retakes a random number quiz, they will get different numbers. 

I did a quick search in the Ideas‌ area of the Community and I couldn't find anything that seemed similar to what you wanted. You might want to check yourself and then if you don't find anything either, you could create a new idea for this.
