Description:
When creating an element with dynamic variable content, for example @X@user.full_name @X@, these variables should be rendered to the current value. In Ultra courses, the notation is not dynamically rendered. The rendering works correctly for Original courses.
Steps to Repeat:
  1. Login to Blackboard Learn as an instructor
  2. Enter an Ultra course
  3. Click on + → Create → Document → Add Content
  4. Paste in dynamic variable content in the textbox. For example:
https://hostname/webapps/blackboard/execute/reporting/displayDefinitions?&nav_bridge=admin_course_statistics&hideCourseMenu=true&report_type=course.statistics&course_id=@X@COURSE.PK_STRING@X@

Observed Behavior:
The template variables are not rendered

Expected Behavior:
The template variables are rendered





Target Release:
