      The engineering team is actively working on a resolution for the Release condition issue. As a temporary workaround until the fix is available, please remove any assessment access exceptions configured in the Gradebook (for example, custom start/end dates assigned to individual students). Once the exceptions are removed, the assessment will appear correctly in the student view. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work toward a permanent resolution.

      Resolved Update - The engineering team has completed the fix for the Release Conditions issue identified in version 4000.15.0. Deployment of the fix to production environments is currently in progress and will continue across all the sites. Once the deployment is completed, the issue related to assessment visibility and Release Conditions will be fully resolved. The team will continue to closely monitor the environments following the deployment to ensure platform stability and expected behavior. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process.
