In some cases, the CourseUserLoad service doesn't always identify reported errors so they then don't convery to the staff.

When an existing user comes into Ares through LTI with the role of Instructor, their Ares user type will be set to Instructor only if Ares needs to create the course. If the course already exists, they will be assigned as the instructor but their Ares user type can remain as User.

This may be an opportunity to just remove the "Create" option in favor of instructors just uploading docs or pdf files.

It is possible to save a Username alert with no Username.
Selecting the Status type does not supply a default Specifier, but selecting Type does supply one.

Bug# 4743

When submitting a message to the Ares message board you can "submit" an empty message without any error message but the message doesn't show up. There is not currently an error message that will pop up if the message or subject fields are left blank.

v4.7
Bug# 4609

See the image below for an example.

Workaround: The workaround for this is to make sure the #LoanPeriodDiv only contains the #OPTION tag, making sure that all of the surrounding HTML is contained within the #OPTION tag's headerText and footerText properties.

For example, changing an item's status from CurrentStatus to PendingActivation will not apply any rules which also prevents any custom routing rules from being applied to items cloned from this item.

Bug# 4559

In the web, clone a course and select at least one item. When viewing the item history for the newly cloned item, the first entry 'Status changed to Item Submitted via Cloned Course' will have an empty string for the username.

Bug# 4450

A vulnerability was discovered in the LTI standard that allows people to construct a link which uses the attacker's session and could trick a user into performing actions with the attacker's identity. Atlas is working with Brightspace to ensure Ares accommodates any functional changes Brightspace will be making to combat this vulnerability.

Bug# 4403

Workaround: Redirecting back and forth by clicking another tab will make the button appear since it will prompt the buttons populated on the LTIContentItem.js to become visible in the frame.

Bug# 4402

Even though a user subscribes to an instructors course by toggling the subscription on, if course user loads are performed to add new users then all subscriptions to the course will be deleted. This is because all course users and their subscriptions are being deleted and then re-added during course user loads without any original subscription preferences.

Bug# 4287

Any free text entered into the Ares web pages doesn't follow the HTML formatting when displaying on the web pages. See the attached image for an example of how free text is being formatted.
