9th of March 2025 (patch release)

This article contains this patch release's bug fixes.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where the written assignment preview would not load if a table cell had a <br> tag at the end
  Previously, when a question included a breakline (<br>) at the end of a table cell, the written assignment preview would display a "There's no line here to end" LaTeX error. We, now automatically remove breaklines at the end of table cells, ensuring the written assignment preview loads correctly.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where the option to hide attachments for a question bank assignment was shown
  The option to hide attachments was removed in the January 5th release; however, it was still visible in the question bank attachments dialog. This was a purely visual issue, as selecting "hidden" did not have any effect. The option has now been removed from the dialog.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where spacing would occasionally disappear when pasting from MS Word
  Previously, when pasting content copied from MS Word into a question, the spacing between words would sometimes disappear. We now correctly recognise content copied from MS Word and ensure that the whitespace is preserved.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where sorting the exercises in the Add exercises dialog would show incompatible exercises
  When adding exercises to a course assignment, only exercises compatible with the assignment type should be shown. However, after sorting one of the columns, we would show all exercises from the question bank, including incompatible exercises. Now, we remember you are adding exercises to an assignment and we only show compatible exercises.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where students weren't able to access their assignment through Schoolyear when using a custom domain
  Previously, when taking a test in Schoolyear, students would sometimes lose access to the platform and be required to sign in again. For schools using a custom domain, students were redirected to SURFconext for authentication, but since SURFconext was not whitelisted in Schoolyear, this caused the students to be blocked.

  To address this, we have extended the duration of a student's Schoolyear session from 1 to 3 hours, preventing the need for re-authentication through SURFconext.
  
  

• Fixed an issue where the reviewing page during preview mode showed the start new discussion form
  Previously, when previewing a digital test, reviewers would see the option to start a discussion, which should only be available for students. Now, the discussion form is no longer shown when reviewing in preview mode.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where the button to edit the pass mark in a question bank assignment was unresponsive
  Previously, it was not possible to edit the pass mark of a question bank assignment when the mark calculation was set to table. Now, the pass mark can be changed again.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where exporting "Points per criterion" in Excel format from the results overview puts criteria in a single column
  Previously, when exporting "Points per criterion" in Excel format from the results overview, all criteria were placed in a single column, making it difficult to analyse individual criterion scores separately. Now, the export correctly distributes each criterion into its own column, ensuring better readability and data analysis in Excel.
  
  
• Updated the description for removing a student account
  Previously, the description for removing a student's account incorrectly stated that by removing a student account, the associated results would be anonymised. We have updated this description to correctly indicate that results are removed.  
  
  
• Removed the ability to add studies from other schools to your question bank via the API
  Previously, it was possible to link studies from other schools to question banks in your school using the question bank API endpoint. Now, only studies from the school the question bank belongs to can be linked to your question banks. All incorrectly linked studies have been removed from the question bank.
  
  
• The pagination parameters in the API documentation for logs endpoints is no longer shown as pagination is not supported
  Previously, when viewing the API documentation for logs endpoints, the pagination options limit and page would be shown. However, the logs endpoints do not support pagination, making the parameters redundant. Now, the pagination options are no longer shown in the documentation.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where variables would fail to generate
  Previously, scripts using numpy could cause our servers to contain an error which would result in some variable calculations not executing. This would be visible through the code editor as a python RecursionError. The variables in the taking of assignments were still correct, as a fallback to previously generated variables would be used. Now, the error no longer occurs, so that the variables are reliably generated and stored.
  
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented users with repro roles from removing or updating scans when using the old 'Scans' overview
  Since the last update, users with the repro role lost their ability to remove scans from the old 'Scans' overview. This functionality has now been restored.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where selecting alternatives for a bubble sheet question did not update the question points
  Previously, when changing the number of questions or alternatives in a bubble sheet assignment, the page would not function correctly, until the page was refreshed. Now, the points are updated correctly after changing the number of questions or alternatives in a bubble sheet assignment.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where html tags would be printed as text in a written assignment
  Previously, when using the 'font' or 'i' html tags inside a question in a written assignment, the tags would be printed as text. Now, the 'font' tag is correctly removed and the 'i' tag is correctly interpreted as italic text.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where the dropdown menu in the result table header was partially hidden
  This issue prevented users from selecting certain additional options, such as 'Change group' and 'Mark approved.' from the table header in the results overview for an assignment. The dropdown menu is now fully visible, ensuring all options can be accessed and used without any restrictions.
