[LON-CAPA-users] Duplicated ids found

It seems to me that the id="11" is used within the imported file (which imports yet another library file) and redundantly in the actual problem file to import the first library file.  I think you 'might' want to use an id other than "11" in your problem file, for the import.

Subject: [LON-CAPA-users] Duplicated ids found

Hi,

This is problem a newbie question. But I didn't find information on 
this. Sorry for that.

After publishing a problem I get the following error message:

[start]
ERROR: Duplicated ids found, problem will operate incorrectly. 
Duplicated ids seen:
11
This error occurred while processing response 12 in part
[end]

I could find in my code only a single id="11".
Note that the numerical ids in
   <import id="11">/res/jce/itayf/pub/lib/const_phys.library</import>
and
   <numericalresponse unit="C" format="2E" answer="$q" id="12">
were added by lon-capa after publication.

The code follows below.

Thanks in advance,
Itay

   <h2>The Electrostatic Force Between a Pair of Identical Hanging Point Charges</h2>

   <p>
     Two point bodies, each having a mass of <num>$mass</num> [g], are connected to identical massless
     isolating strings whose length is <num>$len</num> [cm].
     The strings are connected to the same hook on the ceiling.
   </p>
   <p>
     The bodies carry identical charges.
     Therefore, due to electrostatic repulsion, each string is inclined with an angle of
     $theta<sup>o</sup> relative to the line that pass through the hook and is orthogonal to the
     ceiling.
