Quiz Attempt Data Missing After Changing Attempt Settings

Hi everyone,

I am facing an issue with a quiz in Totara.

Initially, the quiz was set to allow only 1 attempt, and around 50 users completed the quiz under this setting. Later, we changed the setting to allow 3 attempts.

After this change, we noticed that the previous attempt records (especially for users who did not pass) are no longer visible in the quiz reports.

Could someone please clarify:

  • Are the previous quiz attempts still stored in the system?

  • Is there a way to retrieve or restore the results from before the attempt setting was changed?

  • Or could changing the attempt setting have affected the visibility of past attempt data?

Any guidance or best practice on handling this would be appreciated.

Thank you.
