Issue Migrating Imported Exam (w/Question Banks) to New Quiz Format

For our online campus to transition to New Quizzes, we will need to create new courses rather than flipping the switch in the midst of a live course. But I am encountering an error when I import a classic quiz (with question banks) into a new course then migrate the quiz to the New Quizzes format. The question banks/item banks get renamed and then I'm told there are 0 questions in the item bank (see below screenshots)

Is anybody else having this issue or figured out how to workaround this?

In the below screenshot, "Final Exam -" gets appended to the item bank name!

Hi @canvas_admin -- After further consultation, the issue you are experiencing is due to the bulk migration tool that is still in beta. Please refer to the Transparency Timeline for more information on when this will come into Production.

As far as I know this function is only available in the Beta environment right now - I have not seen any news about this being released to production.

Beta Release Notes: New Quizzes Migration (2021-12-22)

I have been able to migrate questions copied into question groups as inline questions in Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes as item banks in production, however. In my test the resulting item banks' names are a combination of the quiz's name and the question group's name.

Hi @canvas_admin -

The Community Team collaborated with the Product Team, and it was recommended that you submit a ticket so the engineers can take a closer look at what you're experiencing. We appreciate you bringing this to the attention to others in the New Quizzes Hub, and we hope that you're able to share back what you learned!
