2 years ago Solved! After updating the answer comment in the canvas ui and inspecting network traffic, I discovered the API documentation is incorrect here. The field is question[answers][#][answer_comment_html].
Summary:
Unable to POST quiz question with answer comments.
I have successfully built a script to create a quiz and quiz questions using python and the canvas API. I'm able to successfully create quiz questions and weights,
Steps to reproduce:
Expected behavior:
Answer comments should be attached to each quiz question answer
Actual behavior:
They do not appear
Additional notes:
Here is the json I'm sending through. Again, note answer_text and answer_weight are correctly handled by the API, but answer_comments is not.
question = { 'question[question_text]' : question_prompt, 'question[question_type]' : question_type, 'question[points_possible]' : 2, 'question[answers][0][answer_text]' : correct_answer, 'question[answers][0][answer_weight]' : 100, 'question[answers][0][answer_comments]' : '', 'question[answers][1][answer_text]' : wrong_answer_1, 'question[answers][1][answer_weight]' : 0, 'question[answers][1][answer_comments]' : wrong_answer_1_feedback, 'question[answers][2][answer_text]' : wrong_answer_2, 'question[answers][2][answer_weight]' : 0, 'question[answers][2][answer_comments]' : wrong_answer_2_feedback, 'question[answers][3][answer_text]' : wrong_answer_3, 'question[answers][3][answer_weight]' : 0, 'question[answers][3][answer_comments]' : wrong_answer_3_feedback }
