Hi isaac2k2,
great ideas!
The first is something I’ve already been experimenting with – but designing a simple user interface to do this is hard. I plan to add a “global options” setting that will be the default settings for whenever you create a new quiz. Part of this will be an “update all quizzes” option that will overwrite the individual quiz settings with whatever you have in the global settings. Just please note that this idea is experimental so no timeline on when I will officially add it in but I think it would be perfect for your needs once complete.
For the CSV uploader, allowing the import of fields that contain formatting such as the “extra text” is super risky on my end because it would create and allow for so many ways to accidentally break the CSV file when you are creating it. I can already see the avalanche of support requests for the importer because people are trying to use CSV files that are broken due to the content of those fields.
CSV stands for comma separated values. They are a great format because it is plain text, simple to create and work with, and pretty much every system in the world is compatible with a CSV file. The downside to them is that they are super fragile.
However, with that said, the importer is a brand new feature and is still immature. I’m sure I will improve and enhance it as time goes on, but I am not willing to commit to adding this to the core at this time.
