Multi True false in one stem (question).
Brief: The MC question type as it exists in Moodle is not very ideal, since you can only configure questions which are not very well designed regarding best practices of MC questions.
Teachers can have more than one true/false question in same stem. this saves creating new questions for each stem. especially when it comes to an essay followed by many questions.

The core MC question type as it exists in Moodle is not very ideal, since you can only configure questions which are not very well designed regarding best practices of MC questions.

Best regards.
An important reason to develop MTF was to circumvent the issue of “negative grading” in the standard MC-question type: We do *not* like penalties in the MTF question type therefore, since penalties give an advantage to the risk taking students / risk averse students have a disadvantage we do not want to measure the risk taking qualities of students in exams.
If Adrian wants to award penalties, he can use the standard MC question type. And you can also point him to https://blogs.ethz.ch/letblog/2019/12/18/how-to-multiple-choice-with-moodle/
It worked well in Moodle 3. But after upgrading my Moodle to 4.0, I installed the new version of the plugin. It came across an error and said "Unidentified column category".
When I explored in the database, the category column is no longer present in the question database table. How can I solve it?
Regards,
Ps migration is supposed to happen only once.
With the previous version, migration procedure went well whenever I needed in courses. I don't understand 'Ps(happen only once)' in your reply.
My note was that you only migrate the MC questions to MTF once; you dont migrate them again and again as this will create the questions again and again (duplicates)
