Dropdown Problems - Moodle

Core Moodle primarily uses dropdowns for cloze question types, and their “missing words” question type, which does the same thing, just more simplistically, and is limited to dropdowns (cloze questions can include other inputs). Setting these up appears to be so complicated that online editors, desktop tools and excel spreadsheets have been created by their community just to simplify the syntax involved.

Moodle’s author UX appears to be a large issue when it comes to question/problem setup, even with the newer cloze editor (which significantly improves the experience).
