[Test failure] TC_AUTHOR_151: Unlimited attempts cannot be assigned in problems

[BryanttV]

Release

Redwood

Expected behavior

As a course author, I want to set up a problem with unlimited attempts, so that students can submit their answers as many times as they want.

Actual behavior

As a course author, I cannot assign a problem with unlimited attempts. It happens when you already have a set number of attempts and want to change to unlimited attempts.

Steps to reproduce

1. From Studio create a problem.
2. Configure the problem with a number of attempts, e.g.: 5, and save.
3. Edit the problem try to assign unlimited attempts, and save
4. The problem continues to have the same number of attempts assigned previously

Additional information

It happens in all problems, but it does not happen with the legacy editor.

I can confirm this issue is currently happening in the redwood sandbox. Here's what I've found:

• This happens even without publishing the unit
• When selecting unlimited attempts after setting a limited attempts to any number, the request doesn't include the unlimited attempt change:
  
• When changing the number of attempts, it sends the new change accordingly:
  

I'll be reporting this in the frontend-lib-content-components repo.

The PR taking care of this issue was merged in https://github.com/openedx/frontend-lib-content-components. I asked the maintainers for some guidance on applying those changes to redwood.

I can confirm this is working on the redwood sandbox:
