I'm using Classic Quizzes.
Actually, two problems:
(1) Canvas is not deleting selected questions from the Question Bank. Instead, it greys out the question -- but, does not delete it from the bank.
(2) Modifying and updating a question causes Canvas to duplicate the question. In other words, the original question is not changed or updated. Rather, Canvas simply leaves the original question un-updated and creates another distinct, new question which is in fact "udpated."
Okay -- annoying, but fine. All I'd have to do is delete the original, un-updated question, right? No. See (1) above.
Anyone else having either of these problems?
Hi @MatthewDunn
Do you have a quiz that has already used the questions from the question bank that you are trying to edit or delete?
Thanks for the reply!
In some cases, yes; in some cases, no. In some cases, the deleted questions were copies from another quiz bank. But, in some other cases, they were questions that I had just freshly created in the existing bank, and was attempting to modify.
