Summary19473: Cannot save Question after changing duplicate code
Description

Sometime (no idea what causes this) you create a question and it doesn't auto increment the Question number. When this happens, you save the question and it warns you of the duplicate question number.

If you change the number and try and save it still warns of a duplicate number even though it has been updated.

Only solution is to refresh, recreate the question and make sure the number is changed first.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

Create a Question - where there is a duplicate - but this is hard to recreate as it doesn't always happen.
Best way I have found is to Create a Question. Then Copy the Question, The create a new one - the Q numbers should be out of line now - but not always (Sorry)

(Replace this text with detailed step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the issue)

Expected result

Should be able to change the Duplicate to a Unique and save
(Write here what you expected to happen)

Actual result

(Write here what happened instead)

Create a Question - where there is a duplicate - but this is hard to recreate as it doesn't always happen.

You mean : update to an existing question code, try to save : disable submit and after fix the question code : it's OK; The issue are only when code are same as start ?

Hello marcgold,
I checked this with the latest version and could not reproduce, so this is most likely fixed for good.
Therefore, I am closing this issue. If you still can reproduce the issue using the latest version, please feel free to re-open the issue.
Thank you!
