[LON-CAPA-users] Warning message on republication of a problem (reposting with attached text rather than figures)

[Robley Light]

Yes, they have been assigned this week so kids have been working on them and
most have completed them.  So I presume I should wait till the end of the
term in case any of these parameter changes would affect the stored grades.

With respect to the title change, I clicked "edit metadata", changed the
title there, then clicked "store catalogue information".  The only change I
made was to remove the period.  The period is still there, however, in the
title section on the construction page, even though if I reclick on "edit
metadata", the title has been corrected on the page that opens up.

With respect to the differences in parameters in both the problem (showing
on a publication attempt) and on the metadata diffs, I have no idea where
those are coming from.  Possibly and error in publication with version
2.3.0?
