[LON-CAPA-users] Dartgun problem screws up scores

[Mark Lucas]

Lars,

	This is what I was afraid of.

	First point - Mark did a no-no and broke that problem by 
hand-publishing. That problem should be fixed, but parts may turn out 
differently now.

Part 0 is the default. It should apply to everything.

What happened is that I tried to mass change part of the problems. Rather 
than hand publish everything, I thought that the ids had already been 
fixed. I found out otherwise. Chapters 13 and 14 have been fixed. I will 
work at hand-publishing the others.

Deleting any parameter can be done in the little pop-up window. Instead of 
set or cancel, click on Delete.
