New Quizzing - Fill In the Blank Question Help

[PamelaMarshall]

I have a bunch of fill in the blank questions from spring I'd like to reuse for spring 2023 and see the Fill in the Blank has been updated with tick marks to delineate the answers instead of the old highlight and choose the enter function.  How can I update the old questions to the format?  The questions are all in  Item Banks.  I've tried copying the questions and copying and moving them around to a new bank, but they still have the old format.  How can I update these questions to the new fill in the blank format?

Hello @PamelaMarshall 

With the change to backticks and your explanation of how you've used them with Item Banks, you would need to go to the item bank questions directly and make the edits there. Unfortunately, you'll need to do this per question as there is no  feature to bulk edit them to backticks etc. However, once you have updated the questions in the item banks directly, you can now use those in upcoming quizzes and they should work as intended. Should there be any issue after making the edits to the source of the question in item banks, you should speak with Canvas Support.

Since all the questions were already in a bank, Canvas did not allow me to modify to backtick on a question in a bank.  Here's what I had to do:

Bring the question to a new quiz

Copy the question

Modify the question copy in the quiz (not in a bank)

Move back into the bank.

And yes I started in New Quizzing not in Classic.

Hello @PamelaMarshall 

Thanks for posting this in the Canvas Community! 

I'm assuming that you have your Fill-in-The-Blank questions setup for use with the Classic quizzes engine. I know that if you have some Fill-In-The-Blank questions that were used with the classic quizzes engine, when you migrate them to be used for New Quizzes, It should convert them so you do not need to edit the question by adding the backticks. I tested this by setting up a Classic quiz in a sandbox course I have. I added a standard Fill-In-The-Blank question to it. From there, I used the New Quizzes Migration feature and it converted it so that the Fill-In-The-Blank possible answer already has the backticks that are necessary for use in New Quizzes. 

HERE is the Canvas guide on Migrating a Classic Quiz to New Quizzes.
