Hello,
I am an administrator and an instructor. I would like to know if a question created in an Item Bank in New Quizzes can be modified to a different type of question? For example, the question was created as an Essay type question, and I would like to change it to a Fill in the Blank type of question. When I hit the edit button, it does not give me the choice of changing the question. Please see the screenshot below for reference.
Your expertise would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Mounika

Hi there, Mounika
As far as I know and testing in my Canvas this possibility is not in available. However, it would be very usefull.
The only option you have is re-generate the question in the type question you need.
Cheers,
Lucía

@lsalgueiroa23 Thank you for looking into it. I appreciate your time. I will submit it as a feature request perhaps.
Thank you,
Mounika
