The error message is extrememly technical, so it does not really tell you where to start, but it does contain a lot of useful information.
For example, we know it is the question with id 1391342. How is that question set up? Is it sharing datasets with other questions or not? How many dataset items are there in the form?
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the info. The question goes something like this "If the couple force F is 41 newtons and acts along the z-direction, and the distance y is 347 millimetres, then find the magnitude of the couple moment. Answer in newton-metres but do not include units in your answer."
It is sharing datasets and the question has 4 parts. And there are 30 wildcard values for each of the 2 variables.
Do you see any problems with this?
As I glance at your question, I cannot see any problem. But maybe Tim will.
You might want to consider using Calculated Multiple Choice questions. This question type removes the need to say "do not include units in your answer."
OK, so if this question only has 30 datasets, then the bit of the original error that says "datasetitem:66" makes some sort of sense. There is no dataset 66!
The fact you are sharing datasets with other quetsions might be what is causing that. I think when you are sharing datasets, then all the questions involved with the sharing must have the same number of dataset itemes. Can you check if that is the case?
Hi Tim & Rick,
Thanks for troubleshooting.
If you are referring to the item count, they both are 30 (see screenshot)
OK, so the bug is that somehow it tried to display a non-existant variany number 66, when there are only 30. I don't know why that would be.
Weird, yes? I don't see a bug like this in the Tracker nor anywhere reported. Guess I will put one in.
This issue has resurfaced. I had a bit of time with it and it seems like if you synchronize the data from shared datasets with other questions in a quiz, you will get the error message. But if you choose not to synchronize and reset the dataset values then it will be fine.
I need to synchronize because the value are used in a multi-part problem. The value calculated in part (a) is then used to help calculate part (c), ect. The next thing I need to try to figure out is if moodle is trying to pull the same data set for all items in the quiz.
Yes, same here. And this is where I'm running into difficulties. Let me know if you run into the same problem.
