Change a Multiple Choice question to a Pick Many
I've had the need to do this often and it's very simple to do. In case you ever need to do the same thing, here's a Screenr to demonstrate how to do it.
https://player.vimeo.com/video/149187507
- Insert after the multiple choice slide you want to change a new Quizzing>FreeForm "pick many" slide
- Return to the multiple choice slide and select each of the available answers (hold down the Shift Key while you use your mouse to click each of of the choices).
- Once selected press CRTL-C to copy them.
- Return to the newly inserted slide an pasted the choices on the slide (press CRTL-V).
- Return to the multiple choice slide and copy any other elements (the actual question text box, images, etc)
- Paste these elements on the new Pick Many slide.
- On the Pick Many slide, click the EDIT PICK MANY slide (upper right) and set up the question as needed choice all the possible answers and the correct answers.
- Delete the original Multiple Choice slide.
That's it.

You rock, Tracy! Thanks very much for sharing this
But that solution is not working, even on the video You can see that. If You click on the preview You can only choose one answer :(
Hi Grzegorz!
I'm not sure what you are referring to. Are you having an issue with a course that you would like some assistance with?
Hi Leslie
Yes i had the same issue. I wanted to modify question from multiple choice to multiple response. I watched this cast and everything is explained but it does not work. You can even see it on a video. There are still round radio buttons not squares, so if You preview question slide after this process it is still multiple choice with one option.
Would you be able to share your .story file or perhaps just the one slide in a .story file for us to take a look at your set-up? I was able to make this work with a quick example attached here.
Yes its working in Your file, Leslie.
I was working in SL1 maybe thats the case.
Ah, well curiosity got me and I just went to check and found the same thing. You're right. Sorry for the confusion.
I didn't see the Edit Pick Many specified in the recording. This is from 8 years ago: has that changed?
Hi, Ellen.
Thank you for reaching out!
What used to be "Edit Pick Many" is now "Form View":
Let me know if this works!
That's what I figured.
I successfully created the new slides but now can't seem to get them in
the correct position in the scene. In both Story View and Scene View,
dragging and dropping doesn't seem to work.Thanks!
Hi, Ellen.
I'm happy to take a look at your .story file to see what's going on. Are you able to share it here?
Hello, Maria:
Thank you for your response. I was able to solve the Multiple Choice
question problem but have another problem, the same one that this user
describes.

You'll see my post at the end.Here's the trigger on the layer. You see that I disabled the second one,
which prevented the layer from appearing even the first time.[image: image.png]
Here's the triggers on the Base Layer.[image: image.png]
With this trigger, the Directions layer doesn't appear at all. If I delete
the condition, the Directions layer appears on every visit.Thank you!
