Resolved issues

The following table highlights the key issues resolved in this release.

Summary

Description

AI generated items

When AI generated items are added to an existing, saved assessment, the Answer Key PDF and scoring now correctly reflect each item’s Points Possible (PP). Previously, newly added AI items could appear with PP = 0, causing the total points possible to be understated and scores to calculate incorrectly until the item was manually edited and re-saved. This update ensures scoring metadata is properly initialized and recalculated when AI items are appended to a saved test, eliminating the need for the workaround (toggling and reselecting the correct answer).

Duplicate rubric name validation on save

Rubric saving is now more reliable, with clear duplicate name messages, no technical errors shown, and a stable page so you can continue working smoothly.

Language attribute

Resolved an issue where removing the Language attribute from an item did not persist after saving and refreshing.
