New Quiz: Copy with Images

[MrReed]

This morning I have multiple teachers who are experiencing issues with copying a "New Quiz" between courses.

The new quiz is created in a "Sandbox" course.

Question stems include images added via "Insert > Image >Upload Image"

The quiz is copied to a live course with students.

Today the images are not being copied along with the quiz.  Instead the quiz is linking to the image located in the "Files" section of the original, sandbox course.

My teachers have not experienced this issue before, and the documentation says that the copy will include all linked files (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-a-quiz-to-another-course-in-New-Qu...)

Is anyone else experiencing this issue suddenly?   Is it a known issue/glitch, or a change in functionality?

Hey all-- I am hoping this isn't a real new thing and it was just a fluke...but I recently copied an existing Canvas course into a sandbox shell, and every single new quiz BROKE. Instead, I ended up with a hundred error codes, 100 classic quizzes, and I'm pretty sure I got hundreds of classic quiz item banks too.

This was so profoundly overwhelming to me that I just closed everything down and went away.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it was a fluke. Because if I just lost all the new quizzes I've been grinding away at creating (despite all the obvious flaws with how new quizzes deals with images), I think I might just change careers.

That sounds horrible - I hope it was a fluke. If you were to copy the quiz into the Commons, does that still show the same error codes?

Looks like it was a fluke. Thank goodness! (But it does point to the anxiety I have while using New Quizzes, especially as Canvas hasn't proposed a solution for this problem yet!)

Am I hallucinating? 

I think this problem is fixed. I wouldn't have known, except our instructional designers were prepping for a PD session on New Quizzes, and they couldn't replicate my image problem. I'm so glad I know it is working now...but it would have been nice to have someone from Canvas at least respond to this thread to let everyone else know. I don't think we need to do these crazy workarounds anymore.
