@AmandaDevries No permanent solution yet. The best workaround (as suggested by others in this thread) is to make a word bank yourself as part of the question text and have students cut-and-paste (or type in) the correct answers in each blank. I'm not impressed by New Quizzes--these little quirks make it much less useful than it is touted as being.

I also don't understand why it is not possible to regrade any question type; only certain types can be regraded and have point adjustments. It would be extremely useful to be able to fix errors and typos in the creation of the quiz after students have taken it with things like essay questions, and not just fill-in-the-blank or multiple choice.

As far as I can tell from the help forums, we can't fix the wrong number of points for an essay question because for some reason essay questions have not been included in the question types that can be regraded. When you fix the question using the quiz builder, you it only fixes it for future students who will take the quiz, not those who have already attempted it.
I have basically the same problem you did: I accidentally left an essay question worth 1 point instead of the 16 it should have been, so my 20 point quiz shows up as a 5 point quiz. After reading the help forums with increasing frustration, I am using a manual work-around. I am assigning the correct number of points for the question, then updating the quiz grade. I then write down that grade (out of 20 points, in my case) and manually change the grade in the gradebook. (If I did not manually change the gradebook, then a 19.5/20 showed up as a 390%, not 97.5%.) I've also left a comment to the students--one by one--about the problem with their correct grade.
All this tedium could have been avoided if I could just have edited the total points for this question. Why Canvas has not allowed us to do so is totally beyond me. All question types should be available for regrading.

I don't think this question has been answered, unless the answer really is "No, you can't."

@HeatherAhern What's more, the word bank was not shuffling the answers among the various questions in the multiple-fill-in-the-blank question: they were all in order at the bottom of the box. And a student informed me that when he accidentally clicked on the blank without dragging an answer into position it showed him the two options just for that blank, which in this case were the correct answer and a period. So, I have switched the questions to open entry with a cut-and-paste word bank because the word bank is just not working correctly for me in New Quizzes.
That is, what I've been trying for now ends up looking something like: [1] "answer 1" "." (the period is because it won't let me have fewer than 2 options for each blank and a space reads as no answer) [2] "answer 2" "." [3] (etc... up to 10 to 16 blanks) Word bank: "answer 1" "." "answer 2" "." ... (no shuffling and at least twice as many answers as there are blanks.)
What I would like for it to do is the following (ideally formatted in a table with RTF): [1] answer 1 [2] answer 2 [3] answer 3 [4] answer 4 (etc. up to 10 or 16 blanks) Word bank: "answer 2" "answer 1" "answer 4" "answer 3"
Sorry, I would have included screen shots, but I've already edited all the quizzes.

Sorry, maybe my question was not specific enough. Are you doing this table question in classic quizzes? In new quizzes, I cannot paste a table into the place where I make blanks; instead, I can only put them in a stimulus or the question prompt, since the blanks area of the new quizzes question does not yet support RTF.

I am looking forward to this (hopefuly) being the last semester without a fully integrated RCE in New Quizzes. That could is potentially very exciting!

I am glad I saw this today. I have a quiz that goes live tomorrow with a matching question that I have now manually set to partial credit. (Of course, I created the quiz only last week, so it would have been nice had the feature gone live before the spring semester started...)

How did you get the fill-in-the-blanks into a table in the first place? I can't figure out how to do that at all in new quizzes.

Absolutely agree! I keep getting terribly frustrated with "new quizzes" because they just don't work right for some of the questions I need to create.

I also desperately need something like this for a major question type on all my language quizzes. Previously my institution used Moodle, which was clunky, but the quizzes worked so much better than Canvas "new quizzes," and I am spending hours upon hours rebuilding all my quizzes.
It seems that our pleas may soon be answered, since one of the next things on the New Quizzes to-do list apparently involves the RCE and fill in the blank questions. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Quizzes-Transition/Transparency-into-Quizzes-Planning/ta-p/502615

My question has multiple blanks (usually 8-12 blanks), but when I use the word-bank option it requires at least two answer options per blank. It defaults to 3 answer options, and I can delete extra answer options by clicking on the trash can, but if I delete all but one option per blank, then I get an error message when I go to save the question. What I would like would be to create a word bank with exactly as many words in it as there are blanks in my question. 12 blanks = 12 words in the word bank. As it is now, 12 blanks requires at least 24 options in the word bank.

Yes, that would work. And the students could either type the answers or cut and paste (my quizzes are for Greek class, and not all the students are equally good at typing it). It is probably a better work around than my current compromise of having half the potential answers consist of a ".".

You could do a workaround in the meantime. I can think of a couple options. You could just forego the Levenshtein distance and check yourself for near misses by the students. Alternatively, you could try to guess the least likely to be misspelled portions of the names and use regular expressions, perhaps something like: eugl.*zoa|virid.*plant.*|dinoflag.*

I like the word bank option in new quizzes fill in the blank questions, and I think it could work well to replace some drag-and-drop matching questions I originally created in Moodle, but I am running into a problem. For each blank in a multi-blank question I have to include at least two potential answers, the right one and a wrong one (distractor). I understand if there were just one blank in the question why distractor answers are necessary, but I plan to have 5 or 6 sentences each with a blank to fill with a different verb form to be dragged from a word bank. I don't want to have 10 or 12 words in the word bank; I only want the 5 or 6 real answers, particularly since for this quiz there are only 6 relevant verb forms. It is frustrating to be forced to have twice too many options at the bottom of the box--not to mention distracting for the students.
Is there a setting I've missed to allow only one potential answer per blank if there are multiple blanks in the question? Or could that functionality be added?
If I could figure out how to do this--and if we could get RTF into these fill in the blank questions--I could do everything I need to do in my Greek quizzes. As it is now, I wish we had not switched from Moodle to Canvas because I am having to reinvent all the quizzes and tests I carefully created last year.
