Multiple Select Question: Partial Answer Marked as Correct
Hello,
Our technical writer needs a multiple select question where more than one answer is correct (e.g., B and D), but a learner should be marked correct by selecting only one of the correct options rather than requiring all correct options to be selected.
For example: if both B and D are correct, selecting only B should still return a correct result.
Is this behavior supported? Please let me know. Thank you!

Interesting question. Not out of the box, but this could be done using State Change Triggers. Just be aware of your trigger order. I have attached a sample using multiple-choice and multiple-response questions. They are not the ideal solution, but they could work.
ChristinaGei617: This project in Review 360 explains how to give partial credit on Multiple Response questions.
Basically, the Multiple Response (MR) options are custom buttons added to a Multiple Choice (MC) question. The MC response buttons are hidden from the user. Before the "Submit MC" trigger, there are triggers with conditions that select the appropriate MC response based on which of the MR options are selected.
For your case, the MC could have just 2 responses: a Correct button and an Incorrect button. A trigger would change the Correct button to Selected if the user selected either of the correct MR options and none of the incorrect ones. An Else statement could select the MC's Incorrect button.
Thank you all! I will try both options
