Most of my assignments contain questions that are multiple fill in the blanks. For example, I have students set up an equation in one blank then type the value of x in another. Often they also have to plug that value into an expression to arrive at the final solution.
In that example, I would set the points to 3 with partial credit checked. That would result in 1 point per blank. That same question is now worth 9 points because the new UI decided that it is worth 3 points per blank instead of 3 points overall. To fix this, I will have to open every assignment in every course I teach for the entire year to manually change all of the point values. This doesn't just affect me. I know most of my fellow math teachers and most of the science department use multiple fill-in questions. That's just at my school. there's no telling how many of your other users this affects.
Can you PLEASE find a way to fix this on your end? I'm not asking for a new feature request to have the new UI build questions differently. I'm asking for legacy assignments to be correctly imported into the new UI. If the total points is 3 and there are 3 blanks, the import filter should be able to calculate that as 1 point per blank.
My coworkers and I have been building questions in Buzz for years. It will be a massive task to go back and open every assignment to correct the point values.

Is this still an issue for your organization?
It was fixed in an update. Thanks for checking.
