I am trying to upload a CSV file using the demo template of the multiple choice text with 100 items. Upon clicking the upload file, it does not show any text or something an error.

If you could take a look on my CSV file in this link.

Let me know how I can upload this kind of question in CSV with corresponding codes to edit though I am not into coding but I’ll try.

Your file has an encoding error. CSV files need to be UTF-8 encoded.

But you are using some special character somewhere that is not valid. For example, question 76 you have people�s where is showing like that because it is not a valid character. If you used AI to help with the questions, be careful as AI LOVES to use special character apostrophes and emdashes everywhere.

I’ve gone in and replaced each of those bad characters with an ' apostrophe (as it looks like that is what the actual character should be) and the upload works fine.

Thank you very much for the information..

Can I request the formatted CSV? It says not found.

Thank you very much..

I have figured out how to save in UTF-8 using only Notepad++.

One more question, I have a problem with the pooled questions. I have only 1 category for the pooled question, and I tried 5 or 10 questions for each instance. After I take the pooled question and refresh or set a delay timer (10s) to same url page, I get the same set of pooled questions in order as well as the choices.

How can I configure it so that every refresh or redirect will have a unique set of questions?

Or is there a time limit for the pooled questions to be change to other unique sets?
