There should be the ability to create notes with multiple questions but a single answer/context.
Advantages:
Questions stay together on a single topic
Easy to create cards based on lecture slides.
Easy thematic quizzing on a subject group
Easy learning of more complex structures/procedures
Major advantage:
Compared to separate cards, although with the same answer each time when creating, one could thus edit/adapt the answer/solution/context for all cards together.
Proposed layout:

It should be possible to sort the questions in their order at any time.
There is the ability to create notes with multiple questions but a single answer/context.
Just use the first field as the context/answer and add a few extra fields for questions. Then use conditional card creation for each of the fields.
If you do not want Anki to create an individual card for each field, you could randomly choose one of the questions with JavaScript. Let me know if that’s something you want to learn more about.
Also think that further development effort is needed here.
It should generally be assumed that a note generates n>=1 cards. This would solve many problems and create many possibilities. (Concept)
How would you implement your suggestion in JS?
… So that all separate questions are represented as:
one card, would be asked one after the other?
one card, but this one would be randomly selected?
With method 2, of course the problem would be that there is no question specific separate Anki statistic.
I was referring to the latter approach, so one card with random question. Like you said, this is only really feasible for very similar questions (e.g. synonyms).
That is the current assumption in Anki. Am I misunderstanding you here?
Regarding conditional card generation: It would suffice to offer a way for add-on authors or users (via template) to explicitly set the number of created cards. Whether it makes sense and what’s done with those lies in the hands of the user.
Couldn’t you already do this by having one note type with multiple card types and fields? You could have one field dedicated for the answer, and add as many card types and fields for all different kinds of questions. Something like 20 card types and fields sounds like it would be more than what you would ever need…
For basic Q&A cards, yes. But Image Occlusions, long cloze texts or a combination of various card types in a single notetype can easily exceed 20 cards.
Your screenshot is from an older version, and that layout is no longer supported. It looks clear when you have very simple templates, but becomes cumbersome as the amount of template text grows.
But I have another problem. Have now written a javascript script that is imported from different cards.
The script is stored here: “%APPDATA%\Roaming\Anki2\User 1\collection.media”.
Problem: Locally this all works fine. Also the first version seems to have been synchronized. But my changes to the script do not seem to be/ or not always/… synchronized. Do you guys have a solution?
similar: at section “## Help! My .js/.css updates are not showing up on AnkiDroid”
But it must also work without extra addon or not??
