New Quizzes Fill in the blank with multiple blanks having the same answer.

[JamesLamberth]

Recently, as many of you know, Canvas has transitioned all of my old quizzes to new quizzes. It does seem to be more user friendly however I have run into a problem with fill in the blank questions. I am a chemistry teacher and I am trying to make questions where the students have to put the correct coefficient in the correct blank in from of the chemical formula in an equation. 

This is my formatting for the question:

Balance the following skeletal equation: `2`Li(s) + `2`H2O(l) ---> `2`LiOH(aq) + `1`H2(g). 

See the image to see what it looks like on their end.

One solution is to put a drop down menu, but I'd like to avoid that. Any ideas on what I can do?

Hello @JamesLamberth 

I am sorry you are having trouble with your fill in the blank type questions in New Quizzes. 

I copied the statement content you provided for the fill in the blank question you were using and it looks a bit different for me. I have added a screenshot below from my testing.  

It might be worth double checking the text you have entered into the statement box on the question. With Fill in the blank type questions, you surround a word with backticks to indicate where a student will fill in the answer. the screenshot you added seems to indicate that the backticks are set incorrectly. 

I've included a screenshot below of what the fill in the blank question looks like from my build screen.
