Acutally, it is more complicated than that. In Moodle there are two ways you can set up a quiz:

1. You can create a self-contained quiz that contains its own question.
2. Or you can create a quiz that users questions from a shared question bank.

(In fact, you can do a mixture of the 2.)

Up to Moodle 4.5, the default was to do 2., on the theory that it would promote reuse. That is, if you added a question directly to a quiz, it would go in the course question bank. That is about to change.

What happens on backup/restore or duplicate depends on which option is used. In case 1, the copied quiz uses copies of the questions. In case 2, the copied quiz uses the same shared questions.

Well, before we started, I wrote this forum thread. The [3/5] and [4/5] posts are the ones that really set out the new way that it will work.

And since the code is now done, you can try it out on the Moodle QA site. (If you test, please report bugs. Still time to fix things before 5.0 comes out.)

And, for MUA members, we are presenting there next week. I might see if we can share the recording of that talk afterwards? Not sure what their policy is.
