Error when marking a gap-fill part with parts of different types and "sort answers" turned on #992

Closed msgj603 closed 1 year ago

msgj603 commented 1 year ago

Steps to reproduce: write a gapfill question with 2 or more numerical answers. Select the "sort students' answers before marking" option. Now add another gap with a different type (e.g. choose one from a list). The option to deselect "sort students' answers before marking" disappears but it can't now sort the answers.

The error message is "Error evaluating variable mark: variable numTicks is not defined". No feedback from the new gap appears either. image

Thanks for reporting this. I've made it so that "sort students' answers" is automatically turned off when the gaps aren't all the same type.
