    A very useful plugin. But there was a problem. When imported from an xml-moodle file, the parameters for the number of correct and incorrect questions are ignored. The test imports without errors. But in the parameters of the imported test, the maximum number of correct and incorrect questions that are available in the imported test is always set. When editing a question with moodle (changing the number of correct and incorrect answers), an error appears - Debugging info: Out of range value for column 'randomselectcorrect' at row 1
    UPDATE mdl_question_answersselect SET questionid = ?,correctfeedback = ?,partiallycorrectfeedback = ?,incorrectfeedback = ?,showstandardinstruction = ?,correctchoicesseparator = ?,answernumbering = ?,shuffleanswers = ?,answersselectmode = ?,formrandomselect?correct = ?,randomselectincorrectfeed = ? ,partiallycorrectfeedbackformat = ?,incorrectfeedbackformat = ?,shownumcorrect = ? WHERE id=?
    [array(
    0 => 237084,
    1 => 'Your answer is correct.',
    2 => 'Your answer is partially correct.',
    3 => 'Your answer is incorrect.',
    4 => 0,
    5 => '0',
    6 => '123',
    7 => '1',
    8 => '1',
    9 => 313,
    10 => 135,
    11 => '1',
    12 => '1',
    13 => '1',
    14 => 0,
    15 => 10,
    )]
    How can this problem be solved?

    Currently, the plugin allows you to manually set the number of correct and incorrect questions. You need to be able to limit the maximum number of questions. For example - the test should have only 5 questions. Of these, one is sure to be correct and one is incorrect, the rest of the questions are asked randomly. It is very inconvenient when there is a large database of questions (for example, 500 options). When manually given the exact number of correct and incorrect questions, this is a hint for the student, as they quickly understand how many correct and incorrect answers.
