Edit multiple items at the same time?

[MaiaMorris]

Is there a way to edit multiple items at the same time? I want to make sure that all of the quizzes and assignments are set to unlimited attempts. Do I have to go in one at a time to check/change these settings?

Hello @MaiaMorris

Currently, there is only one bulk editing option for assignments and that is the due dates and available from-until dates:

There isn't yet an option to bulk edit quizzes although there have been others looking for the same thing:

There is always the option for this to be implemented in the future as there are people who wish to bulk edit other options besides just dates. For now, you'll need to edit your quizzes one at a time to adjust for unlimited attempts.
