Change a multiple choice question to a multiple response question without rebuilding the slide

Am I missing something here?
Coming from both the Lectora and Camtasia worlds, I might* be really disappointed to learn just how tedious it seems to change from one question format to another. 

For my example, 
I have a question that is Multiple Response, and I wish to change it to Multiple Choice. This should be a very trivial change, but I still don't know how it's done.

With respect to Alyssa Gomez' gif tutorial, I don't understand. Multiple Choice bullets should/must be circles, not squares. Your demonstration may restrict other selections but it's potentially confusing to the learner who expect to see a different bullet. 

In another thread, I was told that I can convert a Multiple x question to True/False by removing all but two selections, unfortunately, that doesn't work. 

:( 

* "might" meaning that I might not know enough. I am still at a beginner level with Storyline 3. Forgive me for my stupidity. :) 

Hi Wendy,

> radio buttons indicate to a user one selection from multiple options

> checkboxes indicate to a user more than one selection from multiple options

Sorry about my inarticulate post. I'm not sure where my brain was when I wrote, "should/must be circles, not squares." 

But your response was exactly what I meant. 

Alyssa Gomez' gif tutorial seems to demonstrate converting a Multiple Response question into a Multiple Choice question, but the checkboxes remain, rather than changing over to the correct radio buttons, as expected with a Multiple choice question ("one selection from multiple options").

Best regards.

I just received a request to modify a few Multiple Choice questions to a Multiple Response questions. The only change was the addition of one more question option.

Sure, it's easy enough to set Button Set to none - to allow more than one selection, but the selection buttons remain incorrectly and confusingly as Radio buttons. Is there an easy way to change the buttons to checkboxes?

I realize that Storyline 3 is probably an end of life product, but I surprised that this hasn't been a bigger issue with eLearning authors. It really should be trivial to convert the question format.

WHOA. And also seems like the any way you try to Insert Slides does give you the visual screen and text underneath of "Built-In Graded Questions" and Built-in Survey questions ? I can't just add a MULTIPLE RESPONSE question type, and then add a layout template? Heck I don't care if I can't do a layout template, at this point I'm just trying to make a multiple RESPONSE question !

Oh.  So I think because I had previously used the Content Library, and had the Theme set to LIGHT, the next time I SLIDES --> Graded Question it kept the "Light" theme and the "Built In Graded Questions" did not show up. 

SO if you are finding yourself here wondering up changing Multiple Choices to Multiple Responses, I don't think you can that. 

BUT, what you can do is Slides (tab) --> "Graded Question" AND make sure your template filters (down along the shaded left side) are all DEselected. Then the Built In Graded Questions (True/False, Multiple Choice, Multiple Response, Fill-in-the-blank, etc etc) will be at the very top !

I hope this saves someone some time down the road. 

Cheers!

Hi

I've built 5 multiple response questions - each one on new slide. What I need to do is make sure that each response is checked on every slide before the 'Correct' pop appears when a student submits. Currently it works individually for each slide.  Is there a way of doing this?

Cheers

This is totally ridiculous. Even Captivate lets me change question types on the fly (other than T/F). Can you please post the link to feature request for me? I have a lot to say about the amount of time I'm wasting on this because like some of the previous posts, the simple answer to change the button set doesn't work because there's only 1 button set listed and now I have to go find a new template, format it to match my theme and then make the change. It's super frustrating.

Agree! Adding my vote to this!
