Change Question Type
Is there a way to change a question type from Multiple choice to Multiple Response or will I need to rebuild the question slide?
Is there a difference between Multiple choice and Multiple response besides one has radio buttons and the other check boxes?

Just ran into this one. Surprised they haven't added the feature yet...
This is still not available as a feature :(
It's funny this feature isn't available yet. It's clearly been an issue for a number of years. I found this thread because I was trying to figure out how to flip a question type in my quiz bank. Bummer!
It would be a great feature, especially since you can save so much time reusing existing quizzes and editing them quickly and easily.
Just so I get this right: I can create a new question slide and copy-paste all the content into an existing quiz slide and that will work? That would be an acceptable workaround for me. In an existing quiz (esp. one with complex navigation like a Jeopardy or board game with dice) it would be a nightmare to adjust all navigation triggers.
Hi Daniel,
Are you running into an issue that we can help with?
Multiple-choice questions only allow one response. Multiple-response questions will allow more.
Is there still no way to switch a multiple response to single response?
Hi Erin,
The best way to go about changing a multiple-response question to a single-response question is to create the newly formatted question and then copy and paste the content of the old question into the new question. The feature request for changing this process has been submitted. This conversation will be updated when new information becomes available.
If there is anything else you need, please reach out!
Couldn't it be as as simple as adding an option to the multiple response slides to limit the number or response options to one? It would be a huge time saving when you have 20 plus questions spread through a module.
This is really the answer. Then you could use the one question type for multiple choice, multiple select, and true/false. Really disappointed that Articulate implements these ideas so slowly, or not at all.
I agree, it would certainly be more efficient to be able to change the question type between multiple choice / multiple response and vice versa...
Tacking on my support for a feature that supports changing question types from multiple choice and multiple response and vice versa. Copying and pasting content is far too time consuming when you're having to copy both question content and custom feedback content.
Yes this ability to flip between question types would be a great feature.
It is little annoyances like this that is forcing us to evaluate the new Captivate that is about to be released. We have to produce content quickly and there are so many small issues like this in Storyline that cause delays in development. Not sure if Captivate will be the answer, but now have to evaluate and see if it is time to switch back.
