I am wondering if it is possible to add more than 10 possible Options/Answers to the Survey: Pick One Question. I have to have 13 possibilities. I know how to code (kind of well) so if it is something I can add after its published (sorry to say I haven't looked at that yet) then that could be a possibility. Thank you in advance.
I'm running into the same issue in Storyline. Any chance there's a workaround I can employ in SL for adding more than 10 options in a pick many question?
Here is another way to do it Laura, but I didn't program the Triggers to show the wrong layer. But its another option you sort of get the picture hopefully this helps.
I just realized I posted a storyboard answer to a Quizmaker question. Sorry about that but I will leave it here in case anyone stumbles across it and it can help them. I do not have Studio installed on this system though.
Which Pick Many quiz are you using? I believe the limit you're seeing is for the "Survey" version, is that right? It does look like the max for that style is 10. However, have you considered using the Freeform version? I just tried this out and I've been able to add 15 options (I didn't try going past that amount). It may not be exactly what you're wanting to do, but it may be a good alternative!
Christine, I was indeed using the Survey version; I'm testing the freeform version now. It's more cumbersome to format, but I think it will work. I have a question, though: For the purpose of pulling results from our LMS, will it matter that the other questions in my question bank are survey questions but this one won't be? I don't think so, but I want to make sure.
I don't believe it will cause an issue with the LMS, but it may be best to just create a very simple version and test it out.
Right, it will take more time to create it, but in a way, that may be a good thing, if you want more customized content and more options for the learner. Again, though, I would suggest just making a very small example and testing it out on the LMS. That way, if you run into issues, you'll know before you spend a lot of time trying to set up the project.
I'm curious to see how it works for you. Please keep us updated
Ack! I got the slide all built, but here's my problem: The question really is a survey question. There's no right or wrong answer. Since I've built it as a freeform question, though, I have to indicate a correct answer. I'm stuck. Any suggestions?
Larua, I have had to do the same thing before, you can have both the "correct" answer and the "incorrect" answers provide the same exact feedback, or you can just point them to the same slide layer showing whatever feedback you want regardless of which answer they select.
Ran into the same issue using a multi response to build a matrix type of practice exercise. We have several in Lectora that go up to 3 x 6, 18 distractors. Since there is a 10 distractor limit with the multi response graded question, I wondered if getting all of the checkmarks to show for the correct choices in a freeform/pick many page was possible with checkboxes.
I've found this trail very interesting and relevant as I would like more than 10 multiple answers too, and the current multiple answer template only allows 10. If I use the freeform option, will the quiz pick this up in the results slide?
Yes, using a freeform quiz slide will still allow you to track the response using a Results Slide, as well as send the response to an LMS.
Using the freeform slide will allow you to place more than 10 possible answers in the slide, but note that each of the options will have to be added as a single object.

That's not currently possible.

I'll try to figure something out, thanks Justin.

Hi Laura and Jeff,
Sorry for the delay! Thanks very much for helping Laura out, Jeff
I'm happy to hear this is working.
Good luck with the course!

You could create objects that look like the green checkmarks and based on the selection turn their state from Hidden to Normal.
Yeah, I'm working on that. I tried something like that earlier but ran into issues. Hopefully I'll get around those this time.
Hello! Any updates on this? This is exactly what I am looking for.
Hi Joanne,
This limit is still applicable to your Pick One Survey questions in Quizmaker 360.
Would you be able to share an example of what you would like to create? There may be another way to accomplish your goal.
Hi guys,
It seems like there are still only 10 acceptable answers (A-J).
Is it going to change soon? I need 2 more answers.
Thanks,
Guy
Hi GUY, and welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community! ✨
Which type of quiz question are you using? If you use a freeform type question, you should be able to use more than 10 options.
I hope that helps, and please let me know if you need additional assistance!
