Hello, our team is looking into the New Quizzes Filter IP Addresses deploy. How do group ranges get populated into the drop-down? The notes indicate "Instructors can input custom group ranges [1] or select from existing named group ranges [2]."

I created two New Quizzes Beta, one where I created a range and saved it, thinking that is the way to add them to the list of existing ranges for other quizzes. However, in the second quiz (in the same course), the range isn't available in the Select from existing group ranges drop down.

Can someone please confirm how to create these group ranges so that they can be selected by instructors? Thank you.
