    Hi marisol, that looks like a bug to me and I think I know what it is. I will investigate and let you know when I have a fix. You can email me directly at marcusavgreen at gmail dot com.

    Hi Freddie, I am assuming you are referring to the mobile app version, I will investigate and get back to you.

    Hi Marisol, I have reproduced the issue that you experienced and I am working on a fix.

    I have tested Gapfill against a similar core question type with the Adaptive behaviour. It seems to work as I would expect.
    You can see a video of it here

    In the video I am using dropdowns but I get similar results when using drag and drop. The video is when
    using the Moodle desktop app which is built from the same source as the Mobile app and is running the same
    code as for mobile. I have also tested on the mobile app as well. Email me directly at marcusavgreen at gmail dot com if you want to follow up.

    Hi Marcus, is there a way to ignore blanks AND to have math symbols such as * % all in one answer ?
    For example I'd like to write : M = [N * 2] but I cannot put the asterisk * into the answer.
    * I know I can disable Regex but if do that, then, it will not ignore spaces.
    ** HTML also doesn't help cuz I work with asterisks for multiplication instead of "x"
    Thanks.

    I cannot think of a way of doing that. Have you considered the Formula or Algebra question types?

    Hi Marcus
    Gapfill is amazing and I am using in Moodle 3.4 server with version 1.971. However, it seems the gapfill questions are still not supported in the Moodle Mobile app (3.4.0). I had thought the plugin was usable in the app and am sure I have used it in the app??

    Glad you like it. The mobile app has been supported since February last year and I have various demo sites I test it on. What happens when you attempt to use it with the mobile app?. Probably best to email me at marcusavgreen at gmail dot com.

    Hi Marcus,
    I would like to be sure that the student give all the correct answers. In the example shown in the screenshot, the student can write 'lion' twice in the 'feline' column, and it get 100% mark.
    Is it possible to control this case?
    Thanks in advance
    Giovanni

    Hi Giovanni,
    This can be done using the no duplicates mode which is documented here

    Thanks Marcus, It works very well!
    One more question: when I choose the dragdrop answer type, with no duplicate option, I'd be happy to see the options disappearing when I chose one and drag it in a placeholder (it doesn't matter if it's the right place or not).
    This is extremely usefull when you have a few words to be dragged, specially in the mobile app. Is it possible?

    Hi Marcus,
    Great question type, but I'd also like the option Giovanni mentioned. Would it be possible to add a switch so that each option can only be used once? I use this question type often to arrange items in a table, and only allowing an answer to be used once would help students make sure they have placed all the items.

    Also, in No Duplicates mode, it would be nice if you could still have multiple blanks be counted correct.

    Thanks,
    Aaron
