[RELEASED] Make true/false answers not random when importing from CSV?

Features

Good Morning,

Wanted to share feedback. We use a true/false round & it randomizes the answers which has confused guests as they expect true/false position to remain constant. We manually every trivia we upload fix this & it is frustrating to say the least.

Is there a way that you can make true/false round stay constant as True as option a & false as option b always?

Thanks for your help on this,
Bernadette

Yes to this. :slight_smile:

I go through every question set to make sure true/false questions are in the correct order.

Along the same lines… and this one drives people CRAZY… when the answers are colors, have the colors match the words. I manually do this each time because it I don’t… WOW people get mad. :slight_smile:

Thanks for all the feedback. I was just commenting on another thread about the feature of randomizing the questions and answers for a Crowd Controlled Mode game. So each player sees a randomized version of the game (which only works in non-live non-synchronized modes).

Part of this was to be able to mark a question to not randomize its answers - in case of questions that are true/false, have an “all of the above”, or a numerical increase (e.g. 10 years, 100 years, 1000 years, etc.).

We’re going to work on this above feature. We’ll also update the import CSV to capture this field (of whether to shuffle answers on a given question). So you’ll be able to set this in your CSV when you import and it would satisfy your request.

So… this is coming. Likely in the January update. February at the latest.

Hi there! Is the shuffling question solved for yet? Thanks!

Not exactly sure what you’re referring to. If you mean shuffling questions on Crowd Controlled Mode for each participant, no, we have not implemented that yet. And it’s something not on the near-term roadmap unfortunately.

Apologies! I meant when you upload questions, it shuffles the order of answers! So “all of the above” and true/false can feel a little disjointed if not in the right order

We will add this option shortly to not shuffle the answer options on importing from a CSV. I agree this is highly frustrating. And I apologize for the delay.

Putting it on the short-term list of fixes. :+1:

Thanks for reminding us.

I’m happy to report that in our latest update we have modified question importing from a CSV so that if it detects a “true or false” question, it will always retain the order of: A. True, B. False.

Additionally, if it detects an answer option “All of the above” in your question, it will always order that as the last answer option of the question.

Both of the above detections are case-insensitive, meaning you don’t have to worry about capitalization. For “true or false”, the question must contain only two answer options, with one being “true” and one being “false”. For “all of the above” it just needs to have an answer option that says “all of the above”.

Some inside baseball: The reason we never did this before was that in the CSV, the correct answer must always go in the first “answer option” column. By default, we must shuffle in order to not put the correct answer option as the first one every time. This is why we can’t just “not shuffle” the answer options. And why other types of answer options (e.g. increasing numerical ordered answers 100, 200, 300, 400) are difficult to put back into the logical order, as they come in out of order by the fact that your first answer option is always the correct one.
