Describe the bug
When setting up an assignment, in the Problems section, if you add some Activecode problems and set them to Interaction/Best Answer and save, and go to a different tab and come back, the settings have reverted back to the default of Manual/Empty. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or just how Active Code problems work. The interaction setting does work for multiple choice problems in Problems and for the page containing Active Code in the Readings section.
Thanks,
Beryl

So, this is a by product of my attempt to ensure that instructors do not try to autograde programming exercises that do not have unit tests.

Is this a use case that you think will come up often? I understand using interaction for reading assignments, but I've always assumed that problems should be summative.

I'm sure I can fix this in the code, but let's talk through the pros and cons before we allow instructors to shoot themselves in the foot.

I thought it might be something like that. I had told teachers to use Manual or Interaction for Active Code, since we don't have unit tests for those in Java, but I can tell them to only use Interaction in the readings section. Could you pop up a warning message if they change the grading setting for active code problems in the Problems section?

They should not revert anymore.
