This article contains this patch release's bug fixes.

API changes

Added support for updating an author of a question bank exercise via the API

The author_id is now supported in the 'create' and 'update' operations of a question bank exercise via the API. This enables users to specify or update the author of the question bank exercise.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where requirements did not work for digital test for groups
  

  Previously, requirements that involved completing group assignments would not be marked as completed, even if the assignments were successfully completed. Now, these requirements will be correctly marked as complete if a result exists meeting the requirement.
  
  

• Fixed an issue where the grading type dropdown was always disabled in a question bank exercise
  

  Previously, the grading type dropdown found in the grading scheme of a question bank exercise was greyed out and the grading method could not be changed. This issue no longer occurs and the grading type dropdown is only disabled when it is intended.
  
  

• Fixed an issue where mathematical questions did not acknowledge a correct answer if it contained fractions
  Previously, answers with simple fractions (where the numerator and denominator were both single digits) were not have been recognised as correct. Now, we have implemented an improvement to ensure these types of fractions are parsed and accepted accurately.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where an incorrect maximum score could occur if the mark calculation type was set to "Table"
  Previously, the value of "Limit the highest mark" would still be applied when the mark calculation type was set to "Table". This meant that if the "Lowest mark possible" was set to 10 when mark calculation type was set to "Formula", but the table's highest mark was set to 20, students could only receive a maximum mark of 10. Now, the current mark calculation type is considered when determining the highest and lowest marks.

  This issue was discovered as a result of internal testing. No assignments were impacted.
  
  

• Fixed an issue where an assignment was used as a template or copied and had the deprecated guess correction enabled, then the deprecated guess correction would be used in the copied assignment
  Previously, if you copied an assignment or used it as a template, it would carry over the deprecated guess correction settings, leading to outdated settings in the new assignment. Now, when copying or creating an assignment from a template, the updated guess correction is automatically applied, ensuring that the new assignment does not inherit the deprecated settings.
