RE: [LON-CAPA-users] Changes to parameters are not taking effect
Is there a way to prevent parameter changes? Maybe I set something accidentally.
I have been successful in the past setting parameters for sections and folders. I am \
not sure what is preventing me from making changes now.

Hi Gerd,
Thanks for the response. I tried it in Overview mode and instead of a pop-up window \
showing up there was a message: Error saving parameters
I tried other folders and groups and it still didn't work. I'm not sure what was \
wrong with the parameters. I checked the end date of the course and it is set to July \
1, 2012.
From Seema.

It's probably set at the wrong level. Some possibilities:
* for the top-level course folder, parameters cannot be set at the folder level.
* parameters set on a part-level do not cascade "up" - you might have set something \
for "Part 2" of a problem, which would only catch for a problem that has a Part 2
I would suggest going to the "Existing Parameters - Overview Mode," find the \
parameter that you set, and see what level it is set at.
- Gerd.
