How do i change quiz question type once created?
For example,I have a multiple choice question allowing one answer as correct, that my SME now wants to have changed to a multiple select question. I don't see how i can change question type once created. Any ideas other than having to recreated from scratch. I only ask because this has happened to me several times lately so i thought i would ask if there is a way to edit rather than recreate.
Thanks,regina

Count me in as wanting to change a question type. I'm using a template and need to substitute True/False for some of the multiple choice preset questions.
Thanks Linda.
Ashley - Is there any news if this feature (aka - Switch Existing Question Slide Type) is added to Storyline 3 or Articulate 360? I would seriously buy the new version just for this feature! Making questions over from scratch all the time is such a waste of design time!
Thanks Melissa - I updated my post above, as I thought it was about new question types in Rise! Monday brain.... 🙃
The ability to change a question type is not something that we have in Storyline 3 or Storyline 360. In the meantime you could look at inserting a new slide and copying over the question text/answers to make it a bit faster than entering in that stuff from scratch.
For me, I was wanting to change a multiple-choice to a T/F question. Since the original format was multiple-choice, the learner was able to select both T AND F as their response, thus making their response incorrect.
To workaround this - without having to recreate a whole new quiz - I created two triggers: one on the "true" box and one on the "false" box. "Change state of [true] to normal when user clicks [false]", and vice-versa. Granted the selection checkbox is still a box (versus a radio button) but That's a small price to pay for the time saved. Hope this helps!HI Ashley, any update on this option becoming a feature? I just had to do it twice when my SME changed their mine and so I searched here to see if it was doable to go multiple choice to multi-select...so thought I would check in, if you know if it would be a possibility in the near future. :)

Hi Teresa,
No updates to this yet, but we'll let you know if anything changes!
Add me to the list of users that could do with the feature - a client has just requested a multichoice MCQ becomes a single choice as a 'quick change' before it is released to the LMS
I'd also find this really useful; I produce a lot of assessment modules and often as they evolve I change the question type. :)
I agree this would be great to have when you are using preset backgrounds and to create a new slide each time to change the question type seems ridiculous when you should just be able to toggle between the different types.
