Expected Behavior:

The schema did not change




Resolution/Workaround:

The fix will consist of two portions:
  1. In Blackboard Learn 3900.62.0: the copying process is fixed so that new instances of this issue cannot be made; however existing problem Gradebook Schemas will still be present.
  2. A one-time retroactive fix to the problematic Schemas will be applied in a forthcoming version of Learn. For more information about our plans regarding this see KB № 000077543 Announcement Regarding plans for Gradebook Schemas with Overlapping Symbols to be Cleaned Up Retroactively
