Backlog Priority

[Bug] When we filter the tasks in a group we can no longer mark a task as completed.

Issue was that we can not mark a task as completed after filtering the tasks for the students. Now it is fixed and we can filter the tasks and mark each task as completed

[Subscription Change] Remove coupon if the coupon is an email during a subscription upgrade

One of the greatest issues at FLLCasts. When people were upgrading and filling the password field, then the coupon field was autofilled by the chrome browser with the email of the user. This resulted in us receiving a wrong coupon that was the email of the user. Currently this is resolved.

[Bug, Tasks] Cannot submit tasks

Not reproducible

[Tasks, bug] Tasks list is too short - not all are shown

Issue was that no grades were shown for certain teachers in certain courses. Like for example

https://www.fllcasts.com/groups/252/courses/17/grades

At the moment all the tasks and completions are shown.

[Bug, Programs] Can not delete program

Programs can now be deleted by their authors.

[Subscription] Check when upgrading that the field is not an email and if it is an invalid coupon

Another try on this problem. Will keep it for a few days to see if it is resolved.

Creating two users for one parent, siblings in groups

We have a plan for how to implement brothers and sisters.
