    Good evening, I find this plugin really interesting, well done and powerful.

    I need nevertheless some hint about csv (I prepared them exactly as described and … it worked flawlessly ?? ). More exactly, I need to know if there is some way to import question already set as “Select all that apply: text” and if is there any chance to import questions that allow more than one solution (example sometimes I have questions like “which option is correct in this case? and answer are “1”, “2” and “3”, but 1 and 2 are the right ones and must be selected, in order to have the right answer. Well, is there a way to import such questions with multiple answers already selected or shall I manually adjust them?

    Thank you so much for your great Job!!!!

    Hi arbitrhand,
    Unfortunately, you can only import basic Multiple Choice – Text questions with the CSV import tool.

    In order to allow for Select all that apply question types, the “answers” field in the CSV would need to be formatted as an JSON array. Not a technical issue, but an ease of use issue. The amount of questions I have to answer just to help people properly format the current CSV makes me think that most people simply wouldn’t be able to figure out how to format the answers as an array.

    Your best option is to import them as regular questions, then once imported, edit them to check off the additional correct answers and to change the question type.

    Maybe in the future I’ll create an “advanced” import mode for users like you though!

    thanks a lot for the answer! I will try to figure out how to evolve toward this solution, then.

    Best regards
