fill in the blank text match default selection

[denver1]

When creating a fill-in-the-blank question in a new quiz, how do I change the default text match to "Exact Match".  Either in a course or even at a quiz level?  Some quizzes have 25+ blanks, and it would be nice to have them default to exact match instead of having to choose that from the dropdown 25+ times.  Thanks

Hello @denver1 

You mean a regular fill-in-the-blank and not fill-in-multiple-blanks right? Unfortunately it defaults to the top option which is "contains" and there isn't yet a setting to default it to "exact match" Technically, it is an option but you would need to have that custom coded.
