[New Quizzes] Allow Ability to Change Question Type in New Quizzes

[kjdo]

As a teacher, I'd like the ability to change the question type after I have already created the question (like I was able to do with the Classic Quizzes).  For example, after I've created a multiple choice question, but want to change this to a multiple answer question, I could click on a drop down tab next to the question to easily make this adjustment.

Not just a nuisance but a very ill-conceived deletion of something that worked well. Please restore the ability to change the quiz type of existing quiz questions now!

I'm frustrated with SO MANY things in new quizzes and this is top of the list.  SUCH A WASTE OF TIME. please please please fix this.

Problem statement:

Is it possible to create the ability to change question types in quizzes for an existing question or to make the change in the item bank? Example: I have created multiple choice questions but would like to change some to multiple answer questions. Instead of redoing them it would be quicker to change the format & save the new question.

Proposed solution:

Create and option either in a quiz or the item bank to change a question format & either save the new one or just replace the old one, whichever is easier to program.

Problem statement:

Currently, when a question is created in item bank by selecting a specific type of question, there is no option to change it to a different type of question if an instructor changes their mind later. For example, a question is created as an Essay type question, and there is a change of mind to change it to a Fill in the Blank type of question instead. When we hit the edit button, it does not give us the choice of changing the question.

Proposed solution:

Please consider adding the ability to change the questions type as a dropdown in the edit button functionality within Item Banks in New Quizzes. In case there is change of mind or change of purpose for the assessment, we can change the question type without having to recreate or retype.
