With Adobe Captivate (2019 release), you can now bulk-import the questions to your projects using a CSV file. The supported question types for CSV import are true/false, multiple choice, matching, fill in the blanks, and short answers. You can either use an example CSV file shipped along with Captivate and add the questions directly to it, or you can use a Macro-enabled excel sheet to populate the questions and then generate a CSV file from it.
