Tests & Quizzes (Samigo): Calculated Question - Preview doesn't let you fill in an answer

Description

If you preview an assessment with a calculated question, the answer box is disabled and nothing can be inserted to test the question. It seems like it would be useful to test if the formula is correct before publishing the assessment.

I don’t know, but I assume so.

is this still a problem in current versions of Sakai?

I'm linking the jira proposing the wording changes I mentioned in my last comment.

We've received some recent complaints from instructors at UVA regarding issues with tests that the preview did not expose (in particular, images embedded in question text from a Resources folder when students were not permitted to view any content in that folder). We've been working on revising the text of the "Assessment Preview" message at the top and bottom of the page to explain that it will not allow you to save or submit answers, view feedback, or reveal students' ability to access (or not) linked or embedded content from Resources. I'll create another jira about improving the message when we have some language in place for it locally.

This appears to be "fixed" as of at least Sakai 20. In preview mode, calculated questions now display a user editable text field for inputs.

As noted in earlier comments and related tickets, that does not mean that the preview mode actually works: it doesn't save instructor responses regardless of question type, and can't be used to display feedback. We just now have a text box that instructors can type arbitrarily into for calculated question inputs, rather than a disabled one.
