[LON-CAPA-users] set maxtries in problem

[Ray Batchelor]

Hi Lars,
          This is getting to me.]

I have a published problem in which I specifiy the responseparam 
    <responseparam description="allowed tries" default="3" 
type="integer" name="maxtries" />

and it WORKS!! as intended!

On the other hand I have been trying to publish and use a test problem
in which the maxtries is specified in EXACTLY the same way.
And it does NOT work.  The one that works WAS published under 0.6.2 
which is what I am still using.
Both problems are optionresponse types.

I think your problem problem should work too.
I am beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with the 
publication step (I just posted an addition to bug report 1356 about 
what is happening).

However, I am very tired so maybe it is me.
But your sample won't work for me at this time either.

and I don't know why.
