Good afternoon,


I have 2, maybe / hopefully easy questions.


I’m important questions into moodle using a spreadsheet which allows me to import into my question bank using the Gift format [all multiple choice]


first question - I can get it to import no problem but is there anyway to default the numbering option so it doesn’t show a,b,c,d etc..   I managed to change the default for if I add a question 1 by 1 but not when I import like this.



2nd question


If I can using the random question, does it track in the same quick which questions are used or is it literally random  e.g lets say I add 3 questions from category A, then 3 questions from Category B then I want 3 more questions from Category A but I want no duplicates from the first 3 used, will the system do this?


Regard

1) There is not currently a good way to do this. The only way to do it is to edit one line of code in question/format.php, Change $question->answernumbering = 'abc'; to $question->answernumbering = 'none'; https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/master/question/format.php#L627


2) It does not matter what order random questions are added to the quiz. At the moment the student clicks 'Start attempt' it works out how many questions it needs to get from each category, and then selects them without repeats.
