Description

Ref: https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring/pull/2849#pullrequestreview-3723585894

Steps to reproduce

  • Add a problem - numerical input, in a course or library.
  • In the Answer field, fill it with an input that starts with text letters, like 'testText'
  • BUG: The problem can be saved with that data. This is not expected; a verification error should occur.
