Change a multiple choice question to a multiple response question without rebuilding the slide
When building a quiz (in a SL2 scene, insert new slide, select graded question - not in quiz maker and not freeform) is there a way to change the question type without having to rebuild the slide? For example. I created a graded, multiple choice question and need to change it to a graded, multiple response question.

Hi Lynn
try this
highlight the mc radio buttons right click and turn off button set. If this doesn't work this method won't work - if it does
add two buttons offstage : correct and incorrect - use these in form view to make the selection.
Add triggers to change state of offstage correct button to selected when user clicks submit button on condition (add in the correct responses) and then add another trigger to change state of incorrect button to selected when user clicks submit on condition the correct button is not = selected
Could this fix be done the reverse way? I have a multiple response quiz question that I want to revise to a multiple choice question. But would rather not have to rebuild the whole slide.
You bet, Niomi!
Select all of the checkboxes, then right-click the selection, and click Button Set. This will prevent the learner from selecting more than one right answer.
Very cool.
Thank youThank you!
Hey, I am trying to add a Multiple Response question using Storyline 360, but I see template options only for Multiple Choice questions.
How can I apply a desired template to a Multiple Response question slide?
Hi Shruti,
Check out this helpful video tutorial from my teammate, Crystal! In that video, she covers exactly what you're looking to do.
Let me know if that helps!
This appears to be in flash and will no longer run.
Hi Paula!
Absolutely, here is the link to submit a feature request! I'll make sure to share it with our Engineers once we receive it. The demo that Crystal created wasn't recorded using Flash, so it might be something else that is getting in the way. I just viewed the demo using Chrome, and it loaded as expected. Have you tried using a different browser?
Thanks so much 😊
This video is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Are multiple response questions no longer an option in Storyline 360? I have followed the video above, but when I get to the point where you should click on graded questions, to add the type of question that I need (0:45 sec) I do not see the "Built In Graded Questions" options at the very top. I only show a very limited number of templates based on my template style.
A search of the internet in general, you tube or Articulate has not yet shown me anything that matches what I have to work with. Thanks!
Hi Evelyn!
I'm happy to help! I wonder if you are in a different tab. I'll walk you through the process here!
You'll want to make sure that you're in Slide View when making those changes.
Thank you so much! Walking through it with you allowed me to figure out where I went wrong. My problem had been that I was not getting (seeing) the "Build in Graded Questions". I could only see slides for the themes in use by my project. I did not realize I could (and should) unhighlight them so that I could see EVERYTHING. Yes, this is my very first project and I am still trying to figure it all out.
Video at :36 - "That template and all its formatting is now part of my slide master sets" - Incorrect. It is nowhere to be found. Vigor Multiple choice is not a part of the slide master.
Hi Aiden
I've just downloaded the three MC Template slides from the Content Library and all three slide masters are available...see Peek video
Is this not what you are seeing in your Slide Master?
That is hardly the same template, but it's more workable. MC 3 includes copying over a band of color, changing text, adding icons... now that you've pointed it out, I've been able to make it work, but it is not recognizable as the same layout.
That is Vigor template I'm not sure what you mean? If you are expecting to see the images and radio buttons etc that's not going to happen, the master has placeholders and text styles.
If it helps, what I do is download the template into the file, use one of the slides as it appears in the story file then duplicate it and change the contents.
For those with the same problem:
1) choose the question format that you want
2) in a new slide, choose the question type that you want
3) apply the layout (see the helpful video above to find the corresponding one, it is not intuitive)
4) adjust the layout so that it looks similar to the original question format
5) copy this slide for future multiple response questions for which your theme has no set format.
This is not a simple workaround.
