If look closely for version 12.4 and 12.2, this problem only occurs in the FIN (fill in numeric) question type of time-limited assessment. In time-limited assessment, adds/updates and persists elapsedTime detail in addition to form data. The problem occurs at this point. When an alphanumeric value is entered for the FIN type, there is no control in the syncTimeElapsedWithServer method to which the elapsed information is assigned, although the FinFormatException thrown and a validation warning displayed. Therefore, the data received by the form is saved as a new record each time. To prevent this situation, (at this point) the related data should retrieve from the database instead of form and elapsedTime detail should update and persist. However, as i have seen in version 19, persistence method (saveOrUpdateAssessmentGrading) has been removed from syncTimeElapsedWithServer.

, yes, because an alternate implementation has been committed and merged to branches.

, , AFAIK this issue is fixed in SAK-41898. I'm resolving it as incorporated.
Feel free to undo the change if you think it is not the same issue. Thanks.
Currently, for numeric questions - students can initially input non-numeric values.
If they click Next or Submit, they then receive an alert message to input numeric values.
Ideally this message should occur as they inputing any invalid values - i.e. there should be front-end data validation.
