Is there still a valid workflow of the .txt GIFT file format when creating quizzes via bulk data import of that .txt file?

This feature allowed you to upload it and it automated entering the quiz questions and correct answers instantly into a quiz template. Where is the process workflow for that and the sample GIFT .txt coded file to use?

I learned about GIFT format questions from a document on the Moodle website that explains it rather well. Here is that article: https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/GIFT_format

Please note that some of the standard syntaxes for GIFT format aren’t compatible with Adobe Captivate. For example, numeric answers with a span.

I also did a video about GIFT format back when I learned from this document to share what I learned: https://youtu.be/tkXM2d8lcag

I posted a long answer, but it has been deleted for an unknown reason.

Recently I posted an example GIFT file in an Adobe thread, because I was astonished that the former example file in Captivate seems to have disappeared. Feel free to download and use it, from this thread. I cannot attach it here because the txt format is not allowed in this porta

Personally I still prefer GIFT import over the most recent CSV import because the last has a bug which makes localisation difficult. A couple of years ago I wrote a blog post explaining the main difference between both quiz imports. Not sure if this would be useful however.

Here’s a Helpx article on how to import questions using GIFT format files: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/captivate/using/import-questions-gift-format-files.html

Here’s a short video demonstration showing the same:https://elearning.adobe.com/2021/03/importing-gift-format-questions/
