When I export in GIFT format, there is a number attached to each question. Is this number in any way related to the ID number box (does Moodle automatically assign one if I haven't)? Does the ID number I enter override the one that Moodle has exported with GIFT? Does that number remain with the question regardless of where it is (if I move it to a different category? to a different course?) I'm quite confused about these numbers.
Thanks,
Sarra
Hello Sara,
When I export in GIFT format, there is a number attached to each question. Is this number in any way related to the ID number box?
No. This is an internal question number defined automatically by Moodle.
(does Moodle automatically assign one if I haven't)?
Moodle automatically assigns this internal question number whether or not you have set an ID number.
Does the ID number I enter override the one that Moodle has exported
with GIFT?
No.
Does that number remain with the question regardless of where it is (if I move it to a different category? to a different course?)
Yes.
I'm quite confused about these numbers.
Do you have any problems with these numbers? If not, I think you shouldn't worry too much about them.
Tim or another developer could confirm the above and help you if you have further questions.
Thank you so much. Very helpful.
