When will the new quizzes be able to create question groups from Item Banks?

[atiebout]

I want to randomize my tests like I used to in Classic Quizzes. Unfortunately, the new quizzes do not have the option of creating a new question group that links to my question banks.

This was a great feature in Classic quizzes. Is there a way to get this function in the new quizzes?

Also, it would be nice if all question banks worked for new and classic quizzes.

I'm not sure if you are famiiar with this, but there is a New Quizzes hub here in the Community, and you can also see what is coming down the pipeline.

New Quizzes Hub - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Check out their Roadmap on this page.  I'm not sure if any of the things on their Roadmap would be related to what you're requesting, but you might want to take a look anyway.

This is present, but accessed a slightly different way than in Classic Quizzes.

In New Quizzes, it will require that you have an Item Bank set up with questions already in the bank first. Then, when adding a question in Build mode, you will be prompted to select a question type. In the upper right corner of that popup is an icon that looks similar to a file folder. Click on that to pull up a menu to select an item bank. At the top of the bank, select the button that says +All/Random. This will load a spot into your quiz. Close the Item Bank side panel and click on that spot that was added. You will see an option to choose all questions or a random set of questions. If you choose random, it will expand and let you choose how many questions to pull from the bank and the point value.

Do this procedure for whichever item banks you want to use. When you assign the quiz to students, it will randomly pull questions from the bank(s) you have used in your quiz for each student. The more questions in your item bank, the more random each quiz becomes.
