No option to add question components in Openedx (Teak release)

[nguyentuongvinh123]

I’m currently using Tutor to install Open edX (Teak release). I have installed the Problem Builder XBlock, but when I go to the Problem Builder’s view, there is no option to add question components.

Has anyone experienced this issue before or knows how to enable adding questions to Problem Builder?

We haven't had much interest in sponsoring the development of Problem Builder lately, and it's going to need major refactoring to work in future versions of Open edX, so it's kind of on life support. Though we haven't officially deprecated it yet, as we're hoping to refactor it soon.

I suspect the issue is that the new Studio MFE doesn't support problem builder. Could you try enabling the legacy Studio UI (via the legacy_studio.unit_editor waffle flag) for the course you're testing, and see if it works with the legacy unit editor page?

Hi Braden,
I followed your instructions and the buttons to add question components have appeared. Thank you very much!

@bradenmacdonald I guess this puts a timeline on the refactoring. It needs to be done before the old studio goes away.

@xitij2000 Yeah. What do we need to do to move that forward?

There's a bunch of problems with working with xblocks with children but I think for problem builder openedx/openedx-platform#37535 should fix a bunch of issues.
