Is there a way to change the qeustion type? I have a few questions that are multiple response, that I really want to be multiple choice. I know I can just select a single response as the correct one and it will be fine, but is there a way to change from say a true/false to a mutliple choice option?
Hi Ari, sorry you need to rebuild the question, I think you may be able to add options to a multiple choice question, I have converted a multiple choice into a true/false question in the past by deleting and renaming the options
Hmmm, I was wondering this same thing. It's a bit painful to go through the 'open - close' cycle multiple times to copy out and paste the question stem and responses. The addition of an easier way would be a nice upgrade. Thanks.
I know this question refers to Quizmaker and I was wondering if it's possible to change the question type in Storyline? If not, please send a link where I can request this feature.
This would be a very valuable feature. It is cumbersome if you have to change several questions from one type to another. I am currently having to change all multiple response questions to multiple choice because my client decided they would prefer that (after reviewing and approving the quiz questions) and it's a very time consuming task as the program currently works. It is not acceptable to simply reword and select one correct answer because you still have the type of question that shows check boxes vs radio buttons, so learners will assume they can choose more than one correct response.
Please feel free to share your thoughts directly with our development team in the form of a feature request. They'd love to hear why this would be valuable for you. Thanks!
Make it easy (or at least easier) to change the Question Type. It's a bit painful to go through the 'open - close' cycle multiple times to copy out and paste the question stem and responses. The addition of an easier method would be a nice, user-friendly, upgrade that would boost the productivity of your user community. Thanks.
I completely agree. Please make it easier to change the question type as I am tight for time here and finding the same issue. Thanks for sharing everyone.
I don't have any additional information on if this feature will be included in a future release, but I'd encourage you to also submit a feature request.
I don't have any additional information to share regarding this feature and potential inclusion in future versions of Storyline, but if you haven't done so already I'd strongly recommend that you share your thoughts in the form of a feature request that our product development team can easily track how many users would be interested in this.
Just wanted to add to this. I too have a need to change question type in Articulate '13 but it seems with all these comments it has not been added to Articulate '13 yet.

I don't think any question types can be changed in storyline,

Thanks, Jerry! Really appreciate it, and totally agree

I agree. Just ran into this problem myself. Need to change fill-in-the-blanks to multiple choice. It would be faster then copy and paste.

Here here! Sounds like a great development if it's possible!
Ditto!
Not just me then! - The ability to 'bulk change' questions in a Bank for settings such as 'No Feedback' would also be a great help.
Absolutely! Just ran into this issue. Any enhancement available yet?
Hi Mike,
I don't have any additional information on if this feature will be included in a future release, but I'd encourage you to also submit a feature request.
Yes having to change slide type is a very time consuming task.
Are there any further developments on this?
Hi Nicola,

Ashley,
I know that I've put that request in, but it begs another question.
Is there a listnig somewhere of requested features and any kind of status updates on them, that people can see?
Hi Ari,
There isn't a public listing anywhere - but there is a description of the process our team goes through when feature requests are submitted. Although a public listing - that sounds like a feature request as well!
Ditto on the request to be able to change question types without changing the entire slide type!
Hi Dana,
If you didn't already you'll also want to share this here as those feature requests go directly to our product development team for review.
Just wanted to add to this. I too have a need to change question type in Articulate '13 but it seems with all these comments it has not been added to Articulate '13 yet.
Thanks Paul - it's still not an option in Studio '13 to change the type, but you're welcome to share your thoughts in the form of a feature as well.
Well, the news that you can't change a question type once it is created is disappointing, but the information that it can't be done is helpful.
