Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what what you were trying to accomplish and what went wrong. Vague statements like X does not work are not helpful. Imagine if one of your students sent you an email that said, "My program doesn't work, whats wrong with it?" Could you help them with only that to go on?
I'm unable to add sections 8.2 and 8.3 to a Reading asssignment (using the new assignment builder). I think it may have something to do with the names of those sections, which in the assignment builder only appear as "The".

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the new assignment builder for course isu_fall2025, trying to add sections 8.2 and 8.3 to a Reading assignment. Check the browser's JavaScript console while investigating why these sections appear only as "The". Done means both sections display their correct names and can be added to the assignment.
