Setting different max attempts for different problem parts

Setting different max attempts for different problem parts

Hi all,

It seems that in WW you can only set the max number of attempts for problems as a whole. But if, for example, you have one part where the answer is an algebraic expression, and another part where the answer is binary, you can't give, say, 6 attempts for the algebraic expression box and 1 for the binary question box.

Are there any plans to add such a feature to WW? As far as I can tell, the last forum post about this is from 2018. I ask because I'm hoping to coax my colleagues away from WebAssign, but I know they like this feature.

If not, what do people tend to do for such problems?
