Salam Alykom,
I need to creat one template - one quiz to be dupicated and filled in with new items. However, when I do this the number of questions in the category does not change.
Doesn't this cause ovveriding the original questions!!!?

Hello Ahmad,
When you add questions to a quiz, you are not actually adding questions, but rather links or pointers to questions in the question bank.
When you copy a quiz, two things can happen depending on where the questions are:
Since this is a tricky and frequently asked question, I added Copying a quiz on the "Quiz FAQ" page of MoodleDocs.
Thank you Dominique for your ongoing support.
What is the “default category for question shared in the quiz context”?
The way I create quizzes is the following:
First I create a category - I give it the title of the text
Then I create the quiz - I give the quiz the same title
Then I edit the quiz and add the question from the category that has the same title as the quiz.
Are such categories “default category for question shared in the quiz context”?!

No. To place questions in the default category for questions shared in the quiz context, follow these steps:
That's it!
Yes , this is the default behavior. so to fix that, go to your "template quiz" and edit each question. Change each question's category (the very first option) - You want to ensure the question is saved into the "Quiz's" default category and not the "course's" default category.
Once all questions are saved directly into the quiz's default category, then when you duplicate this quiz all duplicates will have unique copies of the questions, and those questions will be saved in each of the respective quiz's question banks.
Hello Ahmad,
However, no category was copied/generated for the new quiz (Quiz-1 Copy)!!!
A quiz category must have been created for the new quiz (Quiz-1 Copy). Please, double check. See: How to access the Quiz activity context (quiz level category).
Hello,
I added How to access the Quiz activity context in MoodleDocs.

Is it the case in every Moodle version?
Does it work in the free version of MoodleCloud?
Does it work for only admins or teachers too?
Salam Ahmad,
Assuming you're talking about accessing the Quiz activity context:
Is it the case in every Moodle version?
Most likely.
Does it work in the free version of MoodleCloud?
Most likely.
Does it work for only admins or teachers too?
It works for administrators and teachers.
Why do you ask?

I understand now what is meant by quiz activity context. I created some quizzes saving the question in the quiz context category (default ...). I succeeded to duplicate quizzes and the original questions were not overridden.
So far so good.
However, I don’t see any new categories for the new duplicated quizzes. I only see the original quiz default category with the original number of questions. Namely, I see neither the categories (of the duplicated quizzes) neither the new questions of the new duplicated quizzes!!
