Item Banks

[WILLIAMMcLAURY]

When copying multiple questions from one item bank to another new or existing item bank, I have to copy each question individually or else duplicate the entire item bank and delete unwanted questions individually.  Can you create a group copy feature where multiple questions can be selected and copied over into a new item bank in one transaction?  This would save a lot of time and effort. 

In addition, in prior revisions of Canvas, the item bank selected in the drop-down menu when copying questions from one item bank to another would remain in the selection box each time until changed.  Now, I have to find and reselected the item bank I want to copy the question into every single time I want to copy another question.  This is beyond tedious and very unproductive.  Can this be changed back?

@WILLIAMMcLAURY I know Instructure is actively working on improving the New Quizzes experience right now. You may want to put this in as a feature idea, as it seems like it. would be a good improvement.

This issue was brought up 6 years ago in 2019.  Nothing has changed.

I have to say, for a feature that is presented as something that eventually all Canvas users should be using, I'm finding New Quizzes quite cumbersome to use in several regards. There's the issue of importing/exporting them to other Carmen shells without having to import an ENTIRE Carmen course (as noted in other threads), which has required me to create a dummy course with nothing in it except for New Quizzes, to be imported in its entirety wherever any New Quiz is/are needed. And there's this.
