How to remove warning about preview mode

I feel like I must be missing something, but I don't seem to be able to get rid of the warning banner above an H5P activity saying "This content is displayed in preview mode. No attempt tracking will be stored." It's an accordion and attempt tracking is disabled. The warning displays for admins, users, and guests alike. Any ideas?

Using Moodle 3.9+ (Build: 20200626) and the new (integrated) H5P activity type in conjunction with the content library.

Hi Yannick,
I also got this warning message in some activities but since I was mainly playing around and testing the new functionality, I didn't pay attention. I changed the settings and with the following ones the banner disappears:

It seems indeed somehow against the way one would think. I don't know if these settings will impact other configurations of a course (like grading, reports, etc.).

Hi Beatriz,
Thank you very much for your tip! Enabling attempt tracking does indeed make the banner disappear, although only for enrolled students. In our case, however, we expect a lot of people accessing the course as guests, so for them this message would be rather confusing. But maybe this is an issue that has to be addressed through a Moodle update.

Where is the "Enabling attempt tracking" setting? I went to site admin and did a search, but did not find anything.
I only have the basic H5P plugin.
BTW: this bug is something a show stopper for me. Learners unfamiliar with this issue will likely be confused.

I managed to find "Enabling attempt tracking" settings. But I don't want to disable attempt tracking for everything - just the H5P content. Is that possible?

Hi Cyber sec!
The notification "This content is displayed in preview mode. No attempt tracking will be stored." is only displayed for teachers, so learners won't see it... I'm not sure what's your exact issue so it would be great if you could share more information about the steps you're following and what you're trying to achieve. TIA!

This issue is explained in more details on Moodle Tracker.

My current 'strategy' is to set 'Enable attempt tracking' to 'On'. The warning will still be displayed to teachers, but not to students.

This bug still exists for GUEST ACESSS in Moodle 3.11+ (Build: 20210701).

I have my course set to GUEST only, single activity (H5P) and NO completion or tracking enabled for the activity OR the course.

So having a message telling me that 'no attempt tracking will be stored' is ridiculous in a course that it's not possible to store tracking in anyway.

Poorly thought out feature.

Hello.

I have this problem with tracking enabled both in the course and the h5p activity settings.

This happens for both administer and student accounts registered in the course.
