Thisanswer seems to be outdated. I could use an updated answer, help?
I have a multiple choice question with choices, however I require the person completing this question to be only able to select 3 of them. The question says, "Choose three names below".
Can you limit the amount of choices selected in a multiple choice question? Obviously you can make it a "single answer" multiple choice question but what I need is more like a "triple answer" multiple choice question.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
Hi JulesSnarr
Yes, thats possible. Change an "Answer type" to allow multiple answer to get checkboxes.
Then you have to scroll down to "add validation" and turn it on. Then chose "answer range" and set your min / max answers that you like to have.
Does this help?
Hi,
I have a multiple choice question with 9 choices, however I require the person completing this question to be only able to select 3 of them. The question is: "When you are deciding which degree to pursue, what type of questions are most important to you? Choose three".
There is another follow up question for each of the three choices selected so I have used Loop & Merge for this, which works well.
Can you limit the amount of choices selected in a multiple choice question? Obviously you can make it a "single answer" multiple choice question but what I need is more like a "triple answer" multiple choice question.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks

You are correct that you will want to use either current/legacy Quizzes or New Quizzes to create your multiple choice questions for your assignment. There isn't a way to create multiple choice questions in a regular assignment and have Canvas auto-grade them for you. Here are a couple Guides for you...depending on the version of Quizzes that your school currently has available to you:
I cannot speak for Instructure (I work at a Technical College in Wisconsin), so I'm not sure that I really have an answer for you on that. I do know that there isn't really any more work being done on Old (current) Quizzes, and that New Quizzes are their focus now. Could you maybe explain why you would want to use a regular assignment for multiple choice questions instead of using tools that are already available in both Old Quizzes and New Quizzes? It seems to me that you'd be creating a lot more work for yourself, and creating multiple choice questions in a regular assignment wouldn't be able to be graded by the system in this way. So, if you could give an example or two, that would be helpful. I would recommend sticking with what's already available. Thanks.
You can certainly title your assignment (using the classic Quiz or New Quiz interface) whatever you want, but I can understand why seeing buttons to "Take Quiz" (even though, for you, it isn't) could be confusing. You might consider just posting some initial instructions for your students to let them know that your assignment is *not* an actual quiz, but that it's simply using the Canvas quiz interface. I hope this helps.
I have gone into the edit states and fixed this, however, even after fixing it still occurs. I'm guessing this is because of the shuffle feature, moving the answers into different spots. But even making sure there is plenty of room for each answer, and spacing them properly, and even adjusting the states to make sure they are set up perfectly, it still happens.
I've finally figured out the issue. I think the problem was that instead of creating a new slide, I was duplicating a question slide and just changing the text. (I was using a certain template for the question slides, and it seemed easier to just duplicate the slide I had). Since I was just changing the text, that doesn't change the size of the text box itself.
For example, if you had an answer that was originally two lines, and the new answer is only 1, the size of the text box will stay the same. So you need to adjust the text box in each state so that it's exactly the same. And since you can't copy/paste from state to state in a question slide, you need to manually adjust each state so they're identical. Otherwise, you will get that "jumping" when either rolling over or clicking the radio button on an answer.
While that's what I expected to hear, I'm glad that you were able to figure this out and get it working. That makes sense, now, I wasn't quite sure what would've caused that. I'll be sure to keep this in mind, in case someone else runs into the same issue.
To correct the questions already programmed I have had to cut the answer from screen view and then paste into an unused box in form view - by toggling between screen and form view a few times it gets rid of the spaces from where I cut the question out and it all works perfectly.
I had a similar issue - new to Storyline and learning the ropes. Figured out that the question slides were created with a 'foreign' text box dragged in. I created a duplicate slide and in my case selected the M/C template, populated the form, and no problems.
I've also had some very annoying situations with states in multiple choice / multiple response, and still have to some extent: When I increased the size of one answer box (the box, not an individual state), some states would not change along with the resize, and/or the box in some states would resize along with the main one and become too large.
Also, resizing the answer boxes in individual states does not snap to guidelines or the width of the quiz in the slide, making exact adjustment more tedious than it should be. Finally, "Make same size" is not available from the Alignment menu :(
Instead of copying and pasting slides did you look at duplicating the slides and making changes based on that? As you'll see for a number of users if you utilize the copy/paste it can bring in the unwanted formatting that you're seeing and cause other issues.
Let me get back to this, because the issue appeared again in two new projects I started, where I imported a selection of quiz slides from our template, and then copied some of them internally in the new projects. The response option states in the template are fine, but get severely messed up when imported / copied in the projects where I need them.
A secondary compounding problem is that the tools for getting all state shapes nicely aligned in size and position are lacking. including snapping to guidelines/other shapes being inactive and alignment tools not being available.
This is exactly what I was looking for! The highlight on the questions kept jumping for me because I copied and pasted 12 quiz questions that were throughout a course. This saves so much time! Thank you!
Has anyone discovered a fix for this behavior? This happens to me as well with new questions from template. The answers jump around on rollover. I've tried to fix this by ensuring each object state lined up which works sometimes, but most of the time it does not.
Thanks for reaching out! I saw you replied to this discussion as well. Do you seem to be running into the same issue that my teammate, Becca, mentioned where hovering over and selecting choices in a graded question slide will cause the text to be jittery when using the Modern player?
If so, we'll be sure to update that discussion when we have news to share on a fix. If you're experiencing something different, feel free to connect with our support team to confirm and provide further help if needed.
How can you tell survey123 to auto select all of the choices for a select_multiple field when a field above is answered? This is based off a choice filter. I'll provide my form below, but I'm trying to build a survey where depending on which office, users will be select automatically. Hoping to use this with inbox so that paperwork goes to a group of people. Please let me know if you can help!
We have an enhancement requesting instance names honoring choice labels in the Inbox and Sent box instead of returning the choice name. The enhancement number is ENH-000126922, I would suggest opening a case with Esri Technical Support to attach your customer number to the enhancement that way you will be notified when further updates are available on the request.
I have attached a sample XLSForm that calculates a hidden question to be used as the instance name. Since the jr:choice-name() function can only take one input the selected-at() function is needed to grab specific choices from the select multiple question.
This sample says if there are three selections in the select multiple return all jr:choice-name() calculation fields, otherwise if two are selected return those two labels, otherwise return only the first selection (assuming that only one choice has been selected) or nothing.
This solution works for me but I have a lot of duplicate choices. Also, I have would have to write 74 different calculate rows. Highlighted in yellow is the same information. As you can see in blue the same answer can be used for 3 different selections. Can Y802, Y812, and Y822 be combined to all relate to 3174? Currently if you selected all three of those gangs then 3174 shows up three times.
