For example, one site uses Moodle, Schoology and Blackboard. Moodle is unable to add a custom param that pulls from the database. They're using the userid param for the username, but both Blackboard and Schoology's userid values do not match up to the Moodle user_id. They're faced with either a complicated username conversion or just allowing users to end up with multiple accounts, one for each LMS.

Workaround security issues with edge browser in hosted LMS environment The MS Edge browser has become particularly stringent in enforcing security matters. In particular, when using Canvas (hosted) with an in-domain Ares server through LTI Edge will sometimes refuse to display the Ares interface. This has been confirmed while working with Angela.

Support for addons within the Ares item forms This came up because sites want certain fields like ItemInfo2 to be a dropdown. If they make a whole new addon form/tab it's not easy to see, but we think they could have a section of the request form.

TemplateProcessor does not handle parameters that have a right angle bracket The RegEx used assumes the first angle bracket is the end of the tag but it could be a bracket inside a tag parameter.
This was discovered internally and only affects the headers of certain tables if a site wanted to put a link in that text. We will enhance this eventually, but it's not really in the original scope of the tag options.
