Description
In Ultra view mode, when an assignment is initially set to Hidden from students and later updated to use Release Conditions (e.g., specific groups or members), the corresponding Gradebook column remains hidden for the intended students. The column only becomes visible after editing and saving the Gradebook item.
Steps to Replicate
Log into Blackboard Learn Ultra Experience as an administrator
Create and access an Ultra course
Create a student user > Enroll this user in the course created in step 2
Create a group and ensure the student created in step 3 is a member of this group
Create a new assignment or content item
Set the item visibility to Hidden from students and save
Edit the item and change the visibility from Hidden from students to Release Conditions
Configure the release condition > Select the "Specific members or groups" > Select the group created in step 4 > Save
Navigate to the Gradebook and review the column visibility for students in the selected group
Observed Behavior:
The Gradebook column remains hidden for the students in the selected group.
Expected Behavior:
The Gradebook column should be visible to the students who meet the configured release conditions.
Resolution / Workaround
Navigate to the affected course
Open the Gradebook and locate the affected assignments
Click on the item, select Edit, click on Hidden from students and click Save.
Click on the item again, select Edit, click on Release conditions and click Save
Once this is done, the assignment should become visible to the students in the group. This issue occurs because the item is initially hidden and then configured with Adaptive Release, which results in the item remaining hidden unintentionally.
