Ms forms quick import

If there is possibility to import questions with correct answers to quiz so that correct answers will be already marked. To avoid manual changing. I tried to put in word questions in format:

1. Question 

a) test 2

b) test 1

Answer: b

and it works. But is it possible to import multiple choice and points to avoid manually

    Thank you. Is there a format for importing multi-select questions?

    I used to be troubled by this issue as well: how to quickly import answers for multiple-choice questions. In fact, Microsoft Forms can support this by using the "Quick Import" feature. You just need to pre-format the original document to ensure a successful import. I use "Formlinker Word to Form," which automatically formats the files. You can search for it—it has saved me hours of editing time!

    Currently, importing data that includes answers is indeed not supported. If you need to import data in bulk, you can try searching for "formlinker word to form." The API can handle batch processing automatically.

    Currently, there is no support for multiple-choice questions with multiple correct answers. For assigning points, please use the following format:

     

    1. Question

        A. Option 1

        B. Option 2

        C. Option 3

        D. Option 4

    ANSWER: D

    POINT: 10

      I couldn't find any public resource that mentions the use of ANSWER and POINT but I did test and confirm it worked.  Is there a similar keyword for including a comment/message for a specific answer?  I.e. When you click the word bubble icon button to the right of the question and it provides an open text field where you can show the user a message when they select that particular option?

      DingkunXie thank you very much. Is there a way to import with different sections?

        I'll check with the team tomorrow and let you know whether it's supported or not.
