Can anyone tell me how to increase or change the number of choices in multiple choices quiz? At the moment I have 3 choices, but I'd like to increase to 4 or 5.

Can I do It?

This is such a frequently asked thing, it is about time I changed it in in the official Moodle release.

I think I will change it to 5 choices, since the request is almost always for 4 or 5. I'll leave shortanswer and numerical questions at 3 since the common usage pattern is different there, I think, and it is better to keep those forms shorter.

Can anyone remember if there is there an issue number in the tracker for this yet?

For reference, MDL-11310, and it is fixed.

Thanks Tim! You just killed another local customization I had on my production server. One less thing to keep track of. Peace - Anthony

Ok. I read it and found that you can change it through .php.

But it should be able to change as a teacher wishes in future. I hope it will happen in next release.

Cheers.
