In a Stack question, a student entered the result as an equation. It seems that each node of the response tree issues the same message that the answer is of type equation but teachers answer is not.
This looks rather silly. Can I fix this by some setting? What further information is required?

Hello Martin,
you can just suppress the automatic feedback in the nodes where you don't want it.

I know this looks like a strange design decision. I decided that if you had to turn the feedback "on" then nobody else would ever know it was there! So, I decided you should turn it off.

Wouldn't that mean that also the explicit feedback of the true and false branches is suppressed? I have a cascade of algebraic equivalence tests with various versions of the answer.
How to export a single question to attach it here?
I just found an option to export the whole category into 350kb. If that is not a problem, I can attach that.
Best regards, Martin
Hello Stephan, suppressing the automatic feedback does the trick. Thank you very much.
I would never have guessed what the scope of "suppress feedback" was. In fact, it seems to suppress just the auto-generated feedback and not the explicit one downstream.
@Chris: For me, the design decision didn't help, because I related the question to the feedback in the green and red regions below. It didn't occure to me that some other magic feedback might be affected. Afterwards it is quite logical, it is scoped to what is produced by the blue region.
I wonder why this equation issue isn't handled in the validation.
Martin
Hello Martin,
if you set the option "Check answer type" to "yes" under the input options the issue will be dealt with in the validation.
