Description:
In Original courses, when a student submits an assignment, the submission confirmation ID is displayed differently depending on the location. Some locations will display the ID with hyphens and others will display without hyphens. 

For instance, the message displayed in the GUI for students will have hyphens: 

The submission confirmation number is e40e7bb2-a5c2-4035-8cc6-cb4f181a8c07.

Whereas the email, not:

You successfully submitted your coursework. Each time you submit coursework, you receive a unique confirmation ID to verify when your submission was received. You can view your submission on your My Grades page.

Submission details:
Submission confirmation ID: e40e7bb2a5c240358cc6cb4f181a8c07


The instructor wil see the confirmation number with hyphens when accessing the submission receipt via Grade Center > Reports > Submission Receipts 

Confirmation Number: e40e7bb2-a5c2-4035-8cc6-cb4f181a8c07

In the database, the attempt_receipt.UUID = e40e7bb2a5c240358cc6cb4f181a8c07



 
Steps to Repeat:
 
  1. Log into Blackboard Learn as a student
  2. Access an Original course
  3. Submit an assignment or assessment
  4. A submission confirmation ID will display on the GUI and the student will receive an email confirmation as well. 
Observed Behavior: 
The submission confirmation ID in the GUI are the same, but in the email, the receipt does not contain the hyphens. 

Expected Behavior: 
The submission confirmation ID in the GUI matches the one in the email and other locations such as the attempt_receipt table in the database and Grade Center.
