How can I duplicate content type Quiz, and give it a name "Final exam", for example?

Hi,

What would be the difference between the two content types?

This is not possible yet, but will be possible in the near future.

Remember that entity type names are normally not visible to the user.

On the Quiz Global Configuration page, in the Look and Feel section, there is an option to change the Display name from "Quiz" to something else. I think that might be what kpacab11 is referring to.

The problem is that this setting is global. Changing the description to "Final Exam" for example, would change all your quizzes to "Final Exam."

I don't see the benefit in this since you could title the quiz "Final Exam" and that title would be visible.

For someone that wanted to call Quizzes a bunch of different things (First exam, Final Exam, Follow-up Exam, Certification Exam), they'd have to create many many content types which seems inefficient compared to just setting the title.

Patches welcome though!
